The Ketogenic diet, also called the “KETO” diet, has literally been on everyone’s lips for several months. Speaking of which, you may have heard that following the ketogenic diet might sound interesting, but before trying this diet, you should be familiar with the side effects …

Indeed, the side effects of this diet can range from “motivating and exciting”, to uncomfortable, to potentially dangerously fatal. So let me explain the 9 IMPORTANT dangers to know as well as my final recommendation.

The “KETO” diet requires you to follow a strict diet high in fat, protein and carbohydrates. A typical ketogenic diet includes:

75 to 80% fat (lipids)

15 to 20% protein

Only 5% of calories from carbohydrates

In comparison with the Mediterranean diet, well known for its excellent values ​​on the cardiovascular system and its benefits on longevity in particular, this diet includes:

30% fat (lipids)

30% protein

40% carbohydrates

But going back to the ketogenic diet, if you eat, say, 2,000 calories per day, that means ONLY 100 CALORIES of them are from carbohydrates – and that number includes “healthy” carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables!

• OUFF !! Forget all your favorite desserts! Even so, a raspberry is considered to be an excess …

That said, when you eat this way, it triggers what’s called ketosis, which means your body will burn off all of its carbs and start burning fat for energy. your requests. (Very interesting indeed!)

Obviously, like any diet, eating this way can cause you to lose weight, as many celebrities and people on social media have claimed …

But that’s not the only thing that can happen when you reduce your carbohydrates so DRASTICALLY compared to your fat and protein.

In fact, some side effects of the ketogenic diet may not be known to you at all!
