Ketogenic Diet vs Intermittent Fasting (Part 1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that, being overweight or obese, is strongly linked to greater risks of 13 types of cancer?<\/p>\n

In fact, being overweight, ranks as the\u00a0second biggest<\/strong>\u00a0preventable cause of cancer, after tobacco smoking!<\/p>\n

Are you thinking of losing weight? Confused with the numerous types of diet over-flooding the internet? Thinking of starting a ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting? Read this first!<\/p>\n

Ketogenic Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is it?<\/em><\/strong>
\nThe ketogenic diet (or keto diet) is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet \u2014 reducing carbohydrate intake from the recommended 50-60% of total energy intake into 5-10%, while increasing fat intake from 25-30% into 75%!<\/p>\n

This diet was originally meant short-term control of seizure for children with epilepsy. Researchers found that it mimics the fasting state and may be helpful for weight loss.
\n
\n<\/u>How it works?<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/em>When you deprive your body of its preferred or primary energy source which is carbohydrate, cells are forced to break down or \u201cburn\u201d fat instead to supply energy for your body.<\/p>\n

Specific chemicals known as ketone bodies are formed as a by-product, hence \u201cketosis\u201d or \u201cketogenesis\u201d occurs, which mimics the fasting state, and switches your body to a fat-burning mode.
\n
\nPros:<\/strong><\/u><\/em>
\nThere is evidence that use of ketogenic diet can lead to short-term benefits of effective weight loss and improved blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes,\u00a0but there\u2019s currently no evidence of superior weight loss or blood sugar control in the long term<\/strong>\u00a0as compared to other conventional weight loss methods.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/u><\/em>The ketogenic diet can be\u00a0difficult to comply<\/strong>, and the\u00a0elimination of many nutritious food groups may lead to nutrient deficiencies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some people experience the\u00a0\u201cketo flu<\/em>\u201d with symptoms such as\u00a0nausea, headache, sugar cravings, irritability, tiredness, diarrhea, and muscle cramps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Low intake of dietary fiber, increases the risk of constipation, and colon cancer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0drastically high fat intake, increases the risk of high blood cholesterol levels and fatty liver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cutting out carbohydrates makes you feel lethargic, and impairs athletic performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Last but not least,\u00a0be very cautious about ketogenic diet if you have heart disease, fatty liver, kidney disease, gout, diabetes, or gastric reflux<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
