Low carb and Ketogenic diets have caused a lot of controversy over the past 10-20 years. In the past few years there have been many well designed studies which show this way of eating is safe and effective for many health conditions.

​

Many of the so called reasons to avoid this high fat, low carb way of eating have been proven to be incorrect.

Surprisingly, this way of eating improves most health risk factors and in general the body works more efficiently.

​

Low carb and keto diets have been proven to:

​

• Reduce appetite

• Enable increased and more efficient weight loss (Body Fat Loss) compared with low fat high carb eating plans (standard Western Diet) along with the added benefit of being muscle sparing. Meaning you loss body fat while preserving muscle mass!

• Enable easier fat loss from the abdominal area and reduced visceral fat

• Reduce triglyceride levels
