Is ketogenic diet suitable for hypoglycemia?
Ketogenic diet is not suitable for people with hypoglycemia, because ketogenic diet is a diet with high fat, low sugar and low protein. Originally used to control epilepsy, it was later found to have the effect of losing weight. But losing weight with ketogenic diet itself may lead to hypoglycemia. Ketogenic diet refers to a diet that is mainly composed of healthy fat and protein, while limiting the daily intake of carbohydrates to less than 50g. In the conventional diet, carbohydrates are the main part, while the ketogenic diet is mainly composed of fatty acids. Ketogenic diet is to reduce the daily intake of carbohydrates to below 50g, while increasing the intake of fat and protein. Because the ketogenic diet lacks carbohydrates that need insulin to participate in digestion and absorption, after a period of time, the insulin level in the body of the consumer will decrease, which will eventually lead to the body entering a ketosis state and fundamentally eliminate the hidden danger of hyperglycemia. After entering the ketosis state, the body will provide energy for the body through fat instead of carbohydrates.
Diabetic people should not do it.
Ketogenic diet is a diet with high fat, very low carbohydrate and moderate protein, which forces fat to take different paths in the process of energy metabolism, and then ketone bodies will be produced after fat decomposition. In physiological application, ketone bodies are harmless as long as they are lower than 70mg/dL in healthy people. In the state of hunger, ketone bodies can also save the use of glucose and avoid the rapid consumption of blood sugar. In medical applications, ketone bodies can inhibit abnormal brain discharge and treat epilepsy. In addition to this low-carbohydrate diet, there are many ways to lose weight in books and online, such as bullet-proof coffee diet, sugar-cutting diet and Akin diet, all of which are ketogenic diet. However, these methods are generally implemented without the supervision of professional medical personnel. The wrong diet often produces too many ketone bodies, which will easily endanger health in the long run, especially the kidneys and heart. However, due to insulin deficiency or insufficient insulin dosage, diabetic patients can easily unbalance the acid-base mechanism in the body and have diabetic ketoacidosis, which will cause immediate harm if they are not sent to the hospital urgently. Diabetes suffers from high cardiovascular disease and renal failure. If ketone bodies and free fatty acids increase at this time, the risk of complications will definitely increase. Online video only considers whether it will lower blood sugar, but diabetes is not just blood sugar, and it must be evaluated in many ways to get comprehensive treatment. Ketogenic diet may be one of the choices for diabetes to control blood sugar, but it is certainly not suitable for the general public. Especially those who have already taken diabetes drugs or insulin treatment, don't use this method rashly. Once severe hypoglycemia occurs, it will be life-threatening. It is suggested that a balanced diet and control of the total amount of sugar are really helpful for blood sugar. Don't be misled by wrong network information. People who want to lose weight by ketogenic diet should mention that ketogenic diet can really make fat burn, but the products it produces do more harm than good. Is it possible not to encounter sugar all your life? No If you lose weight on a very low-carbohydrate diet, you will definitely gain weight again when you return to your original diet. So choose the right diet from the beginning and don't go the wrong way.
Weight loss mechanism of ketogenic diet
Ketogenic diet has gradually evolved into a way to lose weight. The method of reducing weight by ketogenic diet can be effective in a short time for many reasons. In a normal diet, human cells will give priority to using the obtained glucose as their own energy source. At this time, fat in the human body is not the main energy for energy supply, and ketone bodies will not be produced in the human body. However, ketogenic diet is short of sugar, which is forbidden in human body. In the body lacking glycogen, the liver will use the metabolism of fatty acids to supply energy for the human body, and the "ketone body" in the middle will gradually become an important energy source for important organs and muscles. When the body produces a large number of ketone bodies, it will cause osmotic diuresis and accelerate dehydration, which is one reason why people feel thin; During the ketogenic diet, people need a diet with less sugar, less protein and high fat. This diet structure will greatly reduce people's food intake, thus reducing the energy intake in the body, which is also the reason why people lose weight after starting a ketogenic diet. In addition, the ketogenic diet burns fat, which is itself a manifestation of weight loss. To sum up, the weight will be reduced under the ketogenic diet. Although ketogenic weight loss can make the weight drop rapidly in a short time, it should not be adhered to, otherwise the weight will not only rebound rapidly, but also bring other hazards to health, so it is not suitable for long-term use.
1, lack of protein.
In the process of ketogenic diet, we should not only maintain a low-carbon state, but also maintain a low protein level. Because the decomposition of amino acids in protein will lead to the increase of ketone body level, which is very easy to cause "ketone poisoning" for people with high ketone body content in blood. However, insufficient intake of protein for a long time will inevitably lead to human protein deficiency, which will lead to a series of protein deficiency, including decreased immunity.
2. Muscle atrophy
"Ketogenic diet" will cause the risk of muscle atrophy. The longer you adhere to the "ketogenic diet", the greater the risk of muscle atrophy. Moreover, besides the loss of strength and muscle tension, ketogenic diet will also lead to the reduction of muscle mass, which means that the total number of calories burned by the body will also decrease, so there will be a rebound in the later stage.
What happened to people who insisted on a ketogenic diet for a long time?
"Don't talk for a long time, I have been in hospital for a month." A retired girl with a six-year fitness foundation shared that she tried the ketogenic diet, and the effect was very obvious at first. Weight and waist circumference decreased significantly. However, soon after, she began to have symptoms such as joint pain, stomach acid and nausea. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor strongly advised her not to continue to adopt this diet.
"It's fast to lose weight, but it's faster to gain weight." A netizen who insisted on ketogenic diet 13 months shared that he stopped ketogenic because he gained weight, often had loose bowels, and his blood lipid and uric acid remained high. He said that he lost 8 pounds when he was making ketone for half a year, and then he began to gain weight after eating junk food once. After six months of ketogenesis, no matter what diet you adopt, you can't stop the trend of weight gain, and you often have diarrhea.
"Eating meat really has no happiness" is similar to the netizen above. Another netizen shared that he lost 12 kg of ketone in a month, but after a "carbon explosion", his weight rebounded by 20 kg. She said that after a month, she couldn't lose weight any more, her "menstrual period" was postponed, and she was constipated. "I will be particularly greedy when I see other people's cookies!" Always thinking about eating sweets, rice, steamed bread, bread ... She has never overeated, so she ordered all kinds of bread and steamed bread and ate it at one go.
