🥑January 5th = National Keto Day
You’ve probably heard of the keto diet, but what is it, and is it actually healthy? 🤔
🍳 What is keto?
The ketogenic (keto) diet is a very low-carb, high-fat eating plan 🥩🥑 that encourages the body to enter ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates 🍞.
❤️ Is keto healthy?
Keto can help some people in certain situations, like short-term weight loss or specific medical needs. However, it’s not for everyone. Because it limits many food groups 🍎🌾, it can be hard to stick with and may lead to nutrient gaps if not carefully planned.
🥗 Is keto healthier than other diets?
There’s no one-size-fits-all diet 👥. For many people, a balanced and sustainable approach, including lean proteins 🍗, fruits 🍓, vegetables 🥦, whole grains 🌾, and healthy fats, supports long-term health better than highly restrictive diets.
The healthiest diet is one that fits your body, your health needs, and your lifestyle. Before starting keto, or any major diet change, talk with a healthcare provider 📞.
