In episode 96 of Matt Sipala’s YOU4IA podcast, I discuss the topic of ketogenic diets and how they compare to other dietary strategies, including plant-based diets, for weight loss and other health outcomes. In addition, we dive into potential risks of certain iterations of the ketogenic diet, and how a keto diet can be done in a more healthful way.
The discussion includes:
-
Saturated fat consumption and relevant risks with the global leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease.
-
The ketogenic diet, including how the implementation of a typical keto diet differs from the clinical keto diet.
-
Why someone would choose to adopt a keto diet.
-
Why a keto diet can help manage blood sugar values in type 2 diabetes and how that strategy compares or other dietary interventions.
-
Ketogenic dietary patterns vs plant based dietary patterns in relation to weight loss.
-
Practicality and adherence of the keto diet verses a plant-based model.
