YOGYAKARTA - The keto diet is a low-carb and high-fat diet designed to get the body into a ketosis state. A ketosis state in which the body burns fat as a source of energy rather than glucose. Although the keto diet has benefits for some people, especially in losing weight, there are several side effects that may occur if done in the long term.
The keto diet is done by reducing carbohydrates and consuming only 50 grams or less of this portion. This is done to help the body reach ketosis, where the body must burn fat into energy. Launching Health, Tuesday, April 4, keto diet can help treat epilepsy even though the reason is not known clearly. Apparently, in a ketogenic state, epilepsy sufferers will decrease the frequency of seizures.
Health experts warn of side effects and keto diet hazards if done in the long term. Because it can reduce a number of aspects in health as follows:
Some people reported that early on the keto diet felt digestive disorders, vomiting, fatigue, and sluggish body. This is called the keto flu condition, according to a nutritionist based in Kingston, Australia, Kristen Kizer, RD. Clinical nutritionist and natural medicine doctor Joshegorc, added. A total of 25 percent of people who try keto diet experience these symptoms. According to him, this is because the body is starting to transition using fat as a source of energy, not sugar or carbohydrates.
In addition to digestive disorders due to keto flu, diarrhea is also often experienced by pediet keto. This may be because bile bags, organs that produce bile to help break the fat in food, feel overwhelmed. Diarrhea is also caused by a lack of fiber in the keto diet. It could also be due to intolerance of alternative foods consumed during diets, such as milk products or artificial sweeteners.
For people with diabetes, the condition of ketoacidosis when the body is too acidic because too much ketone, acid as a by-product of fat burning, can damage the liver, kidneys, and brain. Not impossible, it's just that people with diabetes, either type 1 or type 2, must be supervised by a doctor.
This implication is actually very rare. But it is necessary to identify the initial symptoms so that it needs to be consulted immediately with nutritionists and doctors. Symptoacidosis symptoms include dry mouth, frequent urinating, nausea, mouth odor, and difficulty breathing.
The keto diet has strict rules. If it is followed in the long term, it is not the right plan, experts say. At best, the keto diet is carried out for 30-90 days followed by a sustainable diet plan.
Well, when you don't have a diet, or enter a grace period to continue a sustainable diet. Most people will get weight back up. This type of weight fluctuation can cause eating disorders, says Kizer, or can worsen unhealthy relationships with food.
Another side effect of the long-term keto diet is the loss of muscle mass. When viewed from the size of the weight, it may drop. But actually a lot of muscle mass is reduced. This is because the muscles burn more calories than fat. That's why it affects metabolism.
If done properly, the keto diet includes the consumption of many vegetables and sources of fatless animal protein. In other words, it is processed without the addition of unhealthy butter and oil and even fatty machinery. That's why health experts are worried about people who are on a ketogenic diet badly. So if you go through this diet, try with the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist so as not to cause side effects and keto diet hazards for health.
