The Ketogenic Diet: What Is It, How Does It Work, And What Is Its Effect On Health?

 The ketogenic diet has grown in popularity in recent years as a possible way to lose fat and manage health problems like type 2 diabetes and hypertension. It is characterized by being very low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein, and high in fat.


However, there is much misinformation regarding the ketogenic diet due to the role that the food industry has played in creating products that are supposedly designed for people who follow this diet, and because of the creation of nutritional content by non-professionals In the health.

EPS students in the fifth year of the Bachelor of Clinical Nutrition at UFM created an informative video that reviews the most recent scientific information regarding the keto supplements.

In the video posted below, you will know:

  • What is the proper distribution of macronutrients necessary for a safe and effective ketogenic diet
  • How the ketogenic diet changes energy metabolism
  • Medical indications for using the ketogenic diet therapeutically
  • The benefits and risks of using the ketogenic diet as a weight loss method

This video is not a substitute for a personalized nutritional plan. If you are considering a ketogenic diet or any restrictive diet, it is very important that you see a nutritionist. Since it is not healthy for everyone, the nutritionist will evaluate if it is a good option for you, and thus avoid the development of malnutrition or aggravate any other condition that you have.
