After weeks of delving into Keto Diet, we would like to sum up a few points !

It is always the best to consult a dietitian before changing your eating habits or following a new diet ! If you're really interested in trying out this diet, make sure you consult health professionals to assess your health condition before starting and continue following up with them to make sure it's safe ⚠️

Keto diet is extremely restrictive and is not suitable for everyone ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Following a Keto diet for a long term may also increase the risk of some nutrient deficiencies, as you will have to avoid (or limit) certain amounts of nutritious but high-carbs food in order to stay in ketosis 😖

Here are some non-keto friendly food examples that you might need to avoid (or limit) while on a Keto diet. If you're really interested in trying this diet, make sure you consult health professionals to assess your health condition before starting and continue following up with them to make sure it's safe !

Again, the long-term health effects of the Keto diet are POORLY understood 🙈 We also DO NOT believe in eating patterns being highly restrictive and avoiding nutritious foods (e.g. wholegrains, legumes, fruits and vegetables) 🙅‍♀️ Therefore, it is important that you work with a dietitian to make sure you're getting adequate essential nutrients while following a Keto diet.

Keto diet is extremely restrictive and is not suitable for everyone 😣 Following a Keto diet for a long term may also increase the risk of some nutrient deficiencies and induce stress in some individuals. If you're really interested in trying out this diet, make sure you consult health professionals to assess your health condition before starting and continue following up with them to make sure it's safe ⚠️

Here's our guide to Keto-friendly foods that you can include in your keto diet. We still advise to obtain most of the fat in the Keto diet from healthy fats (e.g. olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado etc.) instead of animal fat to reduce the risk of heart-related diseases ❤️

Last week, we've captured some undesirable symptoms that may arise when the body has entered a state called "Ketosis". Ketosis is a state in which the body has an elevated level of ketones (a.k.a. ketone bodies).

When people follow a Keto diet, the carbs stored in the body are depleted. The body then switches to using fat as its primary energy source instead of carbs. The breakdown of fat causes an increased level of ketones, which could also be used as an energy source for the brain 🧠

The time to reach ketosis is different for everyone as everyone has different dietary habits. If you're interested in following a Keto diet for whatever reason and want to know whether your body has entered ketosis, there are a few tests to check your ketone level. Again, we DO NOT advise people to follow a Keto diet without medical supervision and dietetic advice as it's not appropriate or safe for everyone ❌❌❌ Make sure to consult a healthcare professional before making your decision!

It is not uncommon that people experience undesirable symptoms after following a Keto diet, such as headache, low energy level and abdominal upset. These symptoms are pretty similar to a flu, that's why some call it ""Keto Flu"" 😷

These symptoms arise when the body is getting used to using fat as its primary energy source instead of carbs, causing a temporary imbalance in energy sources, insulin and electrolytes in the body. These symptoms may last for a few days or longer.

Although these symptoms are usually short-term, we DO NOT advise people to follow a Keto diet without medical supervision and dietetic advice ❌❌❌ It's not safe for everyone and can cause serious complications ⚠️ Also, don't forget that the long-term health effects of the Keto diet are still questionable !

We've probably heard about some health benefits of following a Keto diet. However, is there any strong evidence to back up that❓How long would the health benefits last after following a Keto diet❓What are the long-term effects and safety issues of following a Keto diet❓

There are still a lot of UNANSWERED questions as the Keto diet is still not well-researched for its long-term effect.

Furthermore, following a strict Keto diet could also lead to many unpleasant signs and symptoms that may make it very hard to follow. If you haven't heard about "Keto Flu", stay tuned for next week🔥

The Keto diet mimics a fasting (starvation) state in the body through a low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat eating pattern. It changes the body's metabolism to utilise FATS as the main source of fuel instead of CARBS 🔄

Although it was first developed as a treatment diet for epilepsy, it has been commercialised as a weight loss diet due to the low-carb diet trend 🤔 However, is it really a healthy and sustainable way for weight management ? We're going to dive more into it next week. Stay tuned 🔥

So many products have been advertised to be able to help the recovery of COVID-19, including Vitamin C, but is it really true❓

Let's take a look at the current research and guideline 🔍

At this stage, Vitamin C has not been found to be useful for speeding up COVID recovery. Undoubtedly, more research is needed to draw a stronger conclusion. So for now, let's just save some 💰 for something else !

In developed countries, it is very rare to suffer from scurvy. Yet, we shall still look out for early symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency, as it may progress to severe symptoms if not treated 🧐
