In the case of ketogenic diet, health is the premise of personal happiness, so the most important thing for us is health. People who are physically and mentally healthy are more likely to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Without health, there is nothing. Let's share the harm cases of ketogenic diet.

The case of the harm of ketogenic diet 1 25-year-old boy, who only eats meat and does not eat carbohydrate, suffers from gout, and the doctor reminds him that ketogenic diet is harmful.

Zhang, a 25-year-old Jiangsu native, suffered from gout due to improper weight loss.

It is reported that because of obesity, Xiao Zhang found the "ketogenic diet" on the Internet and tried it. Unexpectedly, a week later, his body showed discomfort, swelling and pain in his right foot, toes and ankles. After going to the hospital for examination, I found that Xiao Zhang's blood uric acid reached more than 700 and he suffered from gout.

The doctor said that Xiao Zhang's condition was caused by a typical improper weight loss method. He only eats meat, not carbohydrates. This ketogenic diet is very harmful to the body.

What is a ketogenic diet?

Ketogenic diet is a low-carbon water and high-fat diet mode. In fact, it means eating less or no carbohydrates, and eating a proper amount of protein and a lot of fat. This diet will produce a substance called ketone body, so it is called ketogenic diet.

Although ketogenic diet can really help obese patients lose weight, it also has many side effects, such as constipation, alopecia, rough skin, fatigue, headache and nausea. And a long-term high-fat diet will also increase the risk of various diseases.

The doctor warned that ketogenic diet was harmful.

1, intestinal dysfunction

Because ketogenic diet contains very low fiber content, which is very unfavorable to intestinal function, and intestinal health affects all aspects of health, so ketogenic diet is extremely harmful to the body.

2. Malnutrition

The correct way to eat is to mix all kinds of foods reasonably to ensure a balanced nutrition, and only eat meat instead of carbohydrate. This kind of diet arrangement is very unreasonable, and it is easy to lead to the lack of trace elements, which will inevitably lead to malnutrition in the long run.

3. Ketone poisoning

Long-term ketogenic diet can easily lead to excessive accumulation of ketone bodies in blood, leading to ketoacidosis, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, shock, headache and dizziness, and even coma in severe cases, which is harmful to health.

4. Increase the risk of cancer

Because the diet structure of ketogenic diet is unreasonable, the diet with high saturated fat, trans fat and low dietary fiber will increase the risk of fatty liver disease and may develop into steatohepatitis, thus increasing the risk of liver cancer.

If you want to lose weight, you need a healthy way to lose weight. By insisting on exercise and reasonable diet, especially reasonable diet, dieting or single diet is not recommended. Such a diet is not good for your health.

The dangerous case of ketogenic diet 2 1. What is a ketogenic diet?

Ketogenic diet (KD) is a diet with high fat and low carbohydrate, and protein and other nutrients are suitable.

It is a diet that can produce ketone bodies, which are products of incomplete fatty acid metabolism.

Why does fat become a ketone body?

Because without ketone bodies, the human body can't function normally in the state of low-carbon drinking water: some body tissues (mainly the brain and nervous system) can't directly use fatty acids as energy. When they need energy, they will look for glucose first. If there is not enough glucose, they have to look for ketone bodies.

The process of producing ketone is the process of providing backup energy when glucose is insufficient.

The formation of ketone bodies must be caused by insufficient carbohydrate intake. As long as the carbohydrate intake is below 100g, ketone bodies will begin to be produced. The lower the carbohydrate intake, the more ketone bodies are produced.

The ketogenic diet used in practice usually requires a carbohydrate intake of less than 50 grams or 30 grams. Of course, this requirement is only for more ketone bodies. In fact, as long as the carbohydrate intake of a diet is below 100g, it can be called ketogenic diet.

This thing was originally used to treat intractable epilepsy in children, and it has a certain effect.

Some doctors believe that ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet, which may cause hyperlipidemia, heart disease and stroke.

But in fact, no evidence has been found to increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

192 1 year, Dr. Wilder of Mayo Clinic in the United States first proposed a ketogenic diet (high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet), which can simulate the metabolism of hunger and achieve the effect of losing weight.

So how is the ketogenic diet promoted?

It turned out that Abraham, a Hollywood producer in the early 1990s, and his son Charlie suffered from intractable epilepsy, and all kinds of drugs and treatments failed.

To his great fear, the doctor told him that his son would develop persistent seizures and progressive developmental decline in the future.

He collapsed on the spot and frantically searched the world for good medicine. As a result, he was surprised to learn about ketogenic diet therapy, and he began to take his son to King John Hoops Hospital to start ketogenic diet therapy. He refused to take the medicine, but he achieved the effect of not having an attack at all.

In order to consolidate the relapse, my son insisted on a ketogenic diet for many years, and finally he was able to go to school, become a normal person completely, and began to live a happy life as a normal person.

Abraham was very excited and excited about the result. In order to make more children with epilepsy recover and let more parents know about ketogenic diet, he founded the Charlie Foundation in the name of his son Charlie, published a monograph on ketogenic diet, made a movie on ketogenic diet for patients and doctors, made a TV version of the movie "Use Harmless Methods First", and also funded a study on ketogenic diet involving seven centers.

So the ketogenic diet is famous all over the world. Today, there are still countless people who are not satisfied with their body shape and use ketogenic diet to achieve a more ideal body shape.

However, the extreme dietary pattern of ketogenic diet does more harm than good, which is not conducive to the prevention and treatment of heart disease and is not suitable for people with liver and kidney diseases.

For diabetic patients, although blood sugar will be reduced, it will not reduce the incidence of complications for a long time.

Second, why is ketogenesis considered to be beneficial to reducing fat?

The logic of the argument that ketogenic diet is beneficial to reducing fat is as follows:

Ketogenic diet can force the body to use ketone bodies and fatty acids to supply energy by limiting the energy supply of glucose. If this energy supply mode is adapted by the body, body fat will become the first energy source for the body.

In other words, through a ketogenic diet, your body will become a machine dedicated to burning fat.

This theory is really beautiful, but there is also a great lack of consideration: why must it be body fat, not all fat including dietary fat?

If we give priority to all fats, not just the fat stored in the body, then obviously, it is meaningful for us to limit the intake of dietary fat at the same time, which will make the ketogenic diet a low-carbohydrate and low-fat diet.

Of course, I now say that there are loopholes in the theoretical hypothesis of ketogenic diet, which belongs to Monday morning quarterback behavior, because the theoretical hypothesis of ketogenic diet has not passed the test of research, and all the theoretical advantages of ketogenic diet have not been found in the research.

The harm of ketogenic diet Case 3 The doctor suggested the harm of ketogenic diet:

1, intestinal dysfunction, frequent urination,

Because ketogenic diet contains very low fiber content, which is very unfavorable to intestinal function, and intestinal health affects all aspects of health, so ketogenic diet is extremely harmful to the body. When carbohydrate intake decreases and glycogen storage decreases, the kidneys will begin to excrete excess water. In addition, with the decrease of insulin level in the blood, the kidney began to excrete excessive sodium, which also led to the decrease of water in the body.

The drainage of the body will lead to frequent urination, which can't be solved. You can only go to the bathroom more. At the beginning of the ketogenic diet, you lose weight very quickly, but don't be too happy. It's just water, not fat. Constipation is because there is too little water in the body and the stool is dry, so remember to drink plenty of water and replenish water in time.

2, dizziness, weakness, cramps, palpitations

With the decrease of water in the body, the electrolyte in the body will also decrease, mainly minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. After the minerals are reduced, there will be symptoms such as dizziness, headache, fatigue and physical weakness.

Although ketogenic diet can really help obese patients lose weight, it also has many side effects, such as constipation, alopecia, rough skin, fatigue, headache and nausea. And a long-term high-fat diet will also increase the risk of various diseases. Part of the reason is the side effect of insufficient brain energy supply during adaptation. The reduction of magnesium will lead to cramps, that is, muscle spasms. Therefore, it is important to supplement minerals in time, eat more green leafy vegetables, or take supplements in moderation.

3, hair loss, diarrhea

Almost all methods of reducing fat by changing diet will lead to hair loss, which is due to the metabolic disorder caused by our body's inadaptability in the early stage. The reason of diarrhea is that the body can't adapt to the change of diet structure, especially the sudden intake of a lot of meat and oil, which can easily lead to diarrhea.

4. Eat too much

Hungry for sweets, there is a serious shortage of carbohydrates in the body, and we will be extremely eager for all kinds of high-calorie carbohydrates, such as cakes and ice cream. This is nothing else, just be sure to hold back. If you don't resist eating once, you will become more and more eager for carbohydrates and even lead to overeating. That's why I hope you don't try the ketogenic diet easily.

5. kidney calculi

Whether a low-carbon diet will increase the probability of kidney calculi is still controversial. But according to current research, ketogenic diet will increase the risk of kidney calculi. Dehydration before ketogenic diet is severe, and insufficient hydration will lead to an increase in kidney calculi probability.

In the first two months of low carbon, uric acid level may rise, because blood ketone and uric acid are serious, and insufficient water supply will lead to an increase in kidney calculi probability. Because there is a competitive relationship between blood ketone and uric acid, the increase of blood ketone may lead to the decrease of serum PH value, which will lead to excessive secretion of uric acid by the kidney and increase the risk of kidney calculi.
