A new study suggests that the risks associated with a keto diet may outweigh benefits like accelerated weight loss.

Researchers say that following a keto diet is especially risky prior to or during a pregnancy, and for people who have chronic kidney disease.

One of the major concerns for this restrictive diet is that many people tend to eat too much red meat and processed foods with very few fruits and vegetables.

Studies have shown that keto is especially dangerous before or during pregnancy, and for people who have chronic kidney disease.

Decoding Pure Desi #Ghee Did you know this COMMENT YES or NO

Here's a list of foods that can increase your blood cholesterol levels and increase your risks for cardiovascular disease. Was there any food in the video that surprised you??

So if cholesterol is not the BAD food, then what is? Btw, Don't get me wrong..High Blood Cholesterol is STILL the number one cause of heart disease, and foods that have trans fats and high in amounts of saturated fats do raise cholesterol in your blood, which leads to plaque build up in arteries and results in #heart attack or #stroke. So watch out for these two.

Wait....Did I Just Say that Cholesterol from foods will Not Raise your blood #Cholesterol (#LDL ) levels??? Then what about #Egg #Yolks? Listen on...
