There are some hidden dangers of eating
keto that you should probably know about
before you try.

~ ~ ~

[1] Constipation

Your body needs dietary fiber in order to
digest food in a regular and healthy man-
ner. Many carbohydrate-rich foods such as
whole grains, fruits and vegetables are
packed with fiber, so cutting almost all
of them out of your diet to remain in ...

... ketosis may back things up. The fats
and proteins more commonly eaten on the
keto diet take longer to digest — poten-
tially causing constipation. “The less
fiber you eat, the harder it is for ...

... your body to have proper motility,”
certified nutrition consultant Ariane
Resnick tells The Daily Meal. “Keto
diets tend to eschew even resistant
carbs like fiber, which makes consti-
pation a regular (pun intended!) prob-
lem.”

In a study testing the efficacy of the
keto diet to manage epilepsy in chil-
dren, a majority of patients on the
keto diet complained of constipation.

[2] Keto breath

The keto diet may or may not be toxic
to you, but it’s definitely toxic to
your breath. Studies show that people
in ketosis can sometimes end up with
breath that smells like nail polish
remover. Yuck!

It has to do with chemical changes that
occur inside your body when you enter
ketosis. Besides ketosis, other scenar-
ios that may cause this chemical change
include fasting, starvation, prolonged
and intense exercise, alcoholism ...

... and untreated [Islit (Insulinitis,
new clarifying name for near-total to
total loss of endogenous insulin].

[3] Keto crotch [only in women?]

Your breath isn’t the only place you
might notice has an unpleasant smell
once you go on the keto diet. Anecdotal
reports of, well… potent vaginal odor
led to scientific inquiries into what’s
referred to as “keto crotch.”

It’s thought by some gynecologists and
dietitians that the same chemicals that
cause “keto breath” cause a pH change
in the vagina that results in a differ-
ent smell, though this theory has never
been thoroughly studied.

~ ~ ~

[4] Keto flu

Advocates of the keto diet claim that
once they start eating keto they feel
more energized and mentally alert. But
the real experience isn’t as shiny as
it seems. Many who try the keto diet
give up after experiencing what’s ...

... referred to as the “keto flu.” In
some studies, the keto diet resulted
in these symptoms for well over a third
of dieters. Symptoms of keto flu vary
from person to person, but they gener-
ally include nausea, vomiting, ...

... constipation, diarrhea, headache,
irritability, weakness, muscle cramps
and soreness, dizziness, poor concen-
tration, stomach pain, difficulty
sleeping and sugar cravings.

Reportedly, the symptoms subside after
a week or two, but some people don’t
shake them off as quickly.

~ ~ ~

[5] Ketoacidosis

Not to be confused with ketosis, keto-
acidosis is one of the dangers of the
keto diet that’s actually life-threat-
ening. Ketoacidosis most commonly oc-
curs in people with [Islit, and the
risk of that in non-Islit Disparate ...

... High Glucose Conditions (DHGCs)
is lower than it is in Islit]] and
is one of the reasons people with
[Islit, especially, but also with
non-Islit DHGCs] should steer clear
of this particular weight loss regi-
men.

Ketoacidosis is always a threat for
[those with Islit, especially, but
also with non-Islit DHGCs], as it
can occur if [those DHGCs are] not
managed effectively, but ketosis
can increase the risk.

However, ketoacidosis has also been
reported in people without [DHGCs]
who were on extremely low-carb diets.

Ketosis can trigger ketoacidosis — a
condition in which the blood becomes
dangerously acidic due to pent-up ke-
tones. Ketones are the acids the body
produces when in ketosis as a bypro-
duct of using fat for energy.

The high level of acidity from ketones
on ketoacidosis can damage the kidneys,
liver and brain, and can even result
in death.

~ ~ ~

[6] Lower alcohol tolerance

It’s nearly impossible to fit very
much booze into the keto diet without
breaking ketosis, since most types of
alcohol have a lot of carbs. But if
you do find a way to drink on keto,
you’re going to feel a buzz much ...

... more easily. Anecdotal accounts
seem to support this, and there are
a few factors as to why.

One reason is because every carb you
consume from alcohol must be restric-
ted from the rest of your diet to
maintain ketosis. Therefore, your
food-to-booze ratio is going to fall
in booze’s favor.

Additionally, studies show that high-
carb meals eaten before drinking can
reduce blood alcohol content. Fewer
carbs means more alcohol flowing
through your veins.

Some also say that since your liver
is preoccupied with producing gly-
cogen and ketones when you’re in
ketosis, its ability to process al-
cohol is impaired.

Of course, having a lower alcohol
tolerance isn’t always dangerous
— but it can be.

~ ~ ~

[7] Lower energy levels

The body’s main source of energy is
carbohydrates. That’s why in order
to use fat cells for energy, you
must restrict your carbohydrate in-
take so extremely.

“It takes your brain and other organs
some time to adapt to using this new
fuel,” says registered dietitian Kath-
erine Brooking. “The sudden decrease
in carbohydrate intake on the keto
diet can lead to a drop in energy ...

... levels, with some dieters report-
ing fatigue, confusion or brain fog.”

~ ~ ~

[8] Nutrient deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can occur on
any diet if the dieter does not make
sure to eat foods with all of the
nutrients they need. The keto diet
is no exception.

“To maintain a very low carbohydrate
keto diet, one would need to almost
completely restrict grains, beans,
dairy and fruits, as well as many
vegetables,” says registered dieti-
tian Rachael Hartley.

“Eliminating entire groups of food
can put one at risk for a nutritional
deficiency. As a dietitian, I would
be concerned about B-vitamins, which
are commonly found in grains, calcium,
as well as potassium and vitamin C, ...

... which are found in many fruits.”
If you do become deficient in a cer-
tain nutrient, you may start to feel
sluggish or experience one of these
other symptoms of vitamin or mineral
deficiency.

~ ~ ~

[9] Poor mental health

While children who are put on the keto
diet for epilepsy are closely monitored
to ensure they are actually in ketosis,
this is not true of the average dieting
adult.

“Most people on keto aren’t actually
in ketosis,” says Hartley. “It is very
challenging to maintain ketosis.

Instead, most adults attempting keto
are basically just starving their brains
— and that’s obviously not so great for
mental health.”

Hartley says that in addition to fatigue,
keto dieters may experience mood swings
and symptoms of anxiety and depression.

“Your mental health is best when your
brain and body are being adequately
fueled!”

[10] Reduced athletic performance

If you’re a pro athlete, or just get
competitive with yourself at the gym,
the keto diet may not be for you.

According to some studies, people who
went on the keto diet suffered a de-
cline in athletic performance. There’s
a reason marathoners carb-load before
a big race!

Without those carbs, your body may not
perform as efficiently when it’s time
to kick up the intensity.

~ ~ ~

[11] Risk of heart disease and stroke

When you look at the list of foods that
are good for your heart, you might no-
tice: Lots of them have carbs.

Additionally, some foods of greater con-
cern to your heart health when eaten in
excess are totally allowed on the diet,
such as processed meat and cheese.

Experts are concerned that eating these
foods in excess is more likely on the
keto diet, since keto dieters rely on
fats and proteins for calories.

So despite some research that suggests
keto could improve cholesterol in the
short term, it’s hard to say whether
eating this way is hurting your heart.

The type of low-carb food that dieters
choose to eat also matters. In a study
published in the Annals of Internal
Medicine, people who consumed mostly
unsaturated fats and vegetables showed
better markers for heart health than ...

... people who consumed mostly satur-
ated fats and animal proteins. However,
both groups still showed an increased
mortality risk.

~ ~ ~

[12] Unhealthy gut bacteria

Take all the probiotics you want — your
diet still matters when it comes to the
bacteria in your gut. Using a simulated
version of a human digestive system, a
team of researchers recently tried to
gain more insight on how low-carb diets ...

... high in animal protein and fats af-
fect the gut microbiota. They discovered
that switching from a balanced diet to
one deprived of carbs resulted in a
change in gut bacteria that decreased
the amount of disease-fighting antiox-
idants that were produced.

On the other hand, when gut bacteria
metabolize carbs, they produce more
antioxidants. The gut bacteria you end
up with on keto might not be healthi-
est for your body overall.

~ ~ ~

[13] Yo-yo dieting

Before you try keto, ask yourself: Am
I really going to eat this way for the
rest of my life?

If the answer is no, it’s probably
healthier just to skip the diet alto-
gether. “Yo-yo dieting” is a term for
trying diet after diet, resulting in
a cycle of weight loss and regain.

The dangers of yo-yo dieting are well
documented. A study published in the
journal Circulation used data from
over 6 million people to show that
fluctuations in factors like blood
[glucose levels], blood pressure, ...

... cholesterol and weight (all of
which are influenced by weight loss
diets) result in a huge increase of
mortality risk.

In fact, people with the most varia-
bility over their lifetimes were 2.3
times more likely to die of any cause
and over 40 percent more likely to
suffer a heart attack or stroke than
those who remained relatively stable
in these markers.

That means that dieting and quitting,
dieting and quitting, etc., can actu-
ally put your health at much higher
risk than many other “unhealthy” hab-
its your diet aims to break.

of the specific types of High Glucose
Conditions (thus far, research is ongoing
to change that):

o 12 specific types of rapid-onset
Insulinitis (Islit), unpreventable &
nonreversible (thus far), predominate
type, Insulitis Insulinitis (sometimes
called type 1 diabetes, often confus-
ingly called diabetes with no clari-

cific type of HGC that is preventable
& reversible (for up to 10 years after
diagnosis, in some, sometimes called
type 2 diabetes, often confusingly

PreCellosis (often confusingly called
prediabetes with no clarifier) is the
oft-times preventable & reversible
Cellosis precondition that all-too-
often the overwhelming majority
having it are unaware they have it

o 20 specific types of Cellosis, unpre-
ventable & nonreversible (thus far,
sometimes called type 2 diabetes, all-
too-often confusingly called diabetes
with no clarifier)

o 1 specific type of High Glucose Condi-
tion only occurring in the late stage
of impregnation in women, a type that's
transient but that increases risk of ...

... later getting Cellosis, that condi-
tion called Gestational Cellosis (some-
times called gestational diabetes, some-
times confusingly called diabetes with
no clarifier).

o 11 specific types of Diminosis (new name
created in 2010 for a condition that is
sometimes called maturity onset diabetes
of the young, often confusingly called
diabetes with no clarifier), unpreven-
table & nonreversible (thus far).

o 12 specific types of Neonatal Diminosis
(new name created in 2010 for a condition]
that is sometimed called neonatal diabetes,
often confusingly called diabetes with no
clarifier), 8 types are permanent, but ...

... 4 types are transient, unpreventable
& nonreversible in the permanent specific
types (thus far).

o 24 specific types of Ohiglucons (new
name created in 2010 for other diabetes
mellitus, but often confusingly called
diabetes with no clarifier), unpreven-
table & nonreversible (thus far).

- - -

A mostly Non-Glucose Anomaly, Insipidus,
it's also unpreventable & nonreversible
(thus far):

o 6 specific types of Insipidus (new name
created in 2010 for diabetes insipidus,
sometimes confusingly called diabetes
with no clarifier), 4 specific types
don't include high glucose & are unpre-
ventable & nonreversible (thus far), ...

... 2 specific rare types do include
high glucose & are unpreventable &
nonreversible (thus far).

- - -

The following condition is apart from
the diabetes confusion problem, but has
confusion issues of its own.

A Low Glucose Condition, Hut:

o The 21 specific types of Hut (new name
created in 2010 for Hypoglycemia Un-
caused by Treatments for High Glucose,
often confusingly called reactive hypo-
glycemia, confusing in that it does
not occur as a reaction to treatment ...

... for High Glucose; one form is
sometimes called hyperinsulinism),
some specific types are preventable
& reversible, some aren't (thus far).
