Keto Meaning – Is the Keto Diet Actually Healthy? - #15586
I keep hearing about the keto diet, and some of my friends have lost a lot of weight on it. But I don’t really understand the keto meaning and how it actually works. From what I’ve read, the keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that forces the body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. But does this mean I have to completely stop eating carbs? I’ve also read that the keto diet can help with weight loss, diabetes, and even brain health, but are there any long-term risks? Some people say it can cause nutrient deficiencies, high cholesterol, or digestive problems—is this true? Since I prefer natural and holistic approaches, I’d love to know if there’s an Ayurvedic perspective on the keto diet. Does Ayurveda support ketosis, or does it recommend a more balanced diet? Are there Ayurvedic herbs or foods that can help support metabolism on a keto diet? For those who have tried keto, what were your experiences? Did it work for you, or did you face any health issues? Any advice on doing keto the healthy way would be great!
