In this week’s keto sound byte, we are debunking 5 common keto myths…
1) No Science to Support Keto: We explain that keto has been used since the 1920s to treat epilepsy and seizures, and low-carb diets have been popular since the late 1800s for managing conditions like diabetes.
We also highlight its use as a “healing tool” for type 2 diabetes and cancer.
2) Cannot Do Keto Without a Gallbladder: This myth is debunked by explaining that the liver can also dissolve fat, and the fat content in keto is not significantly different from a standard American diet.
Some even find their issues resolved on keto due to the absence of combined fats and carbs.
3) You Can Have Cheat Days on Keto: We discuss how regular cheat days are not beneficial as they can throw the body out of ketosis, making it difficult to achieve desired benefits.
4) Fasting is Required for Keto: We clarify that fasting, including intermittent fasting, is not a requirement for keto, although many naturally eat less often due to reduced hunger.
5) Cannot Do Keto Long-Term: We believe that keto can be a long-term lifestyle choice, not just a temporary diet. We share our personal experiences of using keto to address health issues and maintain low inflammation.
