Ending The Debate About The Ketogenic Diet – 9 Studies You Must Be Aware Of from Collective Evolution
- The Facts:The
Ketogenic diet is a popular fad diet that promotes quick weight loss and
symptom
management for bodies that are dealing with poor lymph, kidney and digestion health. - Reflect On:Based on the studies that are emerging, is our desire for quick weight loss more important than living a long and healthy life? Are we learning about these diets primarily through those with strong ties to upholding these diets?
The
ketogenic diet has popped up as a popular approach to weight loss in
the last few years. Is it successful at that? Sure, it is. I’ve
experimented with the diet myself years ago when I was looking to lose
some belly fat. I was entering into ketosis in a different way than
most, as I was not eating any animal products, but it does in fact work.

But like any animal product based diet,
what are the consequences of eating so much food that does not truly
jive with our human bodies? Not only that, is fast weight loss more
important than keeping our morality rate down?
In the last few years, we’ve reported a
lot on the Keto diet and the various ways it can be done. We have
explored the studies, the results and in some ways, we supported it. But
lately, I have been thinking about how supporting this could actually
be encouraging people to jump into these diets, including the paleo
diet, when in reality these diets increase mortality rates and are not
healthy for the human body.
It became a thought in the back of my
mind, I have always strived to put the best information out that I can
through this platform to promote good health. And so we must look at
that, even if that means upsetting some people who currently are on
paleo or keto and are seeing some good weight loss or symptom
management. The truth is, like the many people I’ve seen crash on these
diets after a few years, I want people to know the truth of what’s going
on out there. And how we can get beyond diets that symptom manage, and
instead get onto diets that truly heal.
Anytime we have fad diets, which paleo
and keto are, we see products and bias pop up all over the place to
support the continuation of these trends. It becomes less about health
and more about upholding an identity or a business.
So as I recently looked into what
experts are saying about these diets, I came upon two important videos I
think everyone should check out. Both have been embedded below.
Remember, it’s not that I care what you choose in your own life, or that
I feel there is a right or wrong, it’s that I believe we should be
informed and I wish to use this platform to promote as best a message as
I can.
