Keto is everywhere; it's the new buzzword, the new favorite among those looking to shed pounds, and the new hate victim of the food-pyramid-spouting-eat-your-whole grains mainstream medical industry. The keto diet, while it is not the magic cure-all for every single disease on the planet, does a pretty dang good job at being the potential causer of healing many horrible conditions. A keto diet is an eating plan that focuses on foods that provide a lot of healthful fats, adequate amounts of protein, and very few carbohydrates. The goal is to get more calories from fat than from carbs. The diet works by depleting the body of its sugar reserves. As a result, it will start to break down fat for energy. This results in the production of molecules called ketones that the body uses for fuel. When the body burns fats, it can also lead to weight loss. There are several types of keto diet, including the Standard Ketogenic Diet and the Cyclical Ketogenic Diet So let's cut through the science, separate fact from fiction, and look at the benefits of the keto diet.

So why is weight loss usually so easy on the ketogenic diet instead of other regular diets? For all of the following reasons: •   The keto diet is composed of approximately 75% fat, 20 % protein, and 5% or less carbohydrates. The high fat content and lack of sugar means diminished cravings, lack of blood sugar swings and binges, and increased satiation. Increased satiation=eating less. Many people also have food sensitivities to grains, even gluten-free ones, so eliminating them may lead to an increased ability to absorb minerals like magnesium and potassium, which in turn means your body is more nourished and you have fewer cravings •   Ketones. When your blood sugar is running low, your body turns to its glycogen stores for energy. Typically glycogen stores house about 2000 calories of "backup" energy for when you run out of glucose. Like the intelligent machine it is, your body depletes the glycogen stores and then turns to your own body fat for fuel. IMPORTANT: The ketogenic diet is not a free-for-all eat however much cheese or super low-carb fat bomb treats you want diet. If you are eating way more calories than you need, you will not lose weight. So focus on keeping your diet around fatty cuts of grass-fed meat, butter, eggs, avocados, lots of green veggies and cruciferous, and be modest with the keto desserts, dairy, and sweets.  Bene?? #2 Cholestero? When people think of high-fat diets, they almost instantly think of high cholesterol levels. It’s a reasonable response considering we’ve been told for years that the low-fat diet is heart healthy and the high-fat diet is not. Yet more and more research showing that fat is not to be feared but rather it has been the scapegoat for the real culprits of cardiovascular and obesity issues among Americans today: processed carbohydrates and diets high in sugar.  On a ketogenic eating plan, many people experience a decrease in total cholesterol, a decrease in triglycerides, and an increase in HDL. Although some people may see a rise in cholesterol on a ketogenic diet, those people would likely see an increase regardless because rapid weight loss, be it water weight or body fat, can lead to a temporary, short-term rise in LDL cholesterol. Consequently, it’s often recommended to wait six months after starting a ketogenic diet to test your lipid panels, or to wait until your weight loss has tapered off. Page # 2

Once your body has settled into the diet, it works more efficiently, burning the fats in your food and your body and never embarking on the wild ride that is the highs and lows of a carb/sugar laden diet. Without the sugar peaks and crashes, cravings disappear, and you feel satisfied.  Why, you wonder? Isn’t a calorie just a calorie. The answer is no. Here’s why:  As we mentioned above, the ketogenic diet is one that’s very low in carbohydrates, moderately low in protein, and high in fat. But it’s more specific than that. Each day on a keto diet, you eat to your macronutrients (“macros”) or the total amount of calories of fat, protein, and carbs you should eat per day based on your height, weight, activity level, age, and goals. But not all macros are the same. Each has a specific amount of energy or calories: - Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram - Protein has 4 calories per gram  - Fat has 9 calories per gram Clearly, fats are more satiating (keep you feeling satisfied longer) because they provide you with the same energy per gram as both protein and carbohydrates combined!  That’s not the only reason your appetite is reduced on a keto diet. As we mentioned earlier, once you get into ketosis, you generally don’t experience the blood sugar level peaks and valleys – and the consequent hunger pangs – that you do on a carbohydrate-heavy diet. Hormones, in this case insulin, cholecystokinin, ghrelin, and leptin, play a strong role in the lack of hunger, because they influence the feeling of being satiated.  Ketosis has been shown to suppress ghrelin (a strong appetite stimulator). In fact, in a study where participants were put on a ketogenic diet for eight weeks and then reintroduced to a standard diet, participants in ketosis experienced a reduction of circulating concentrations of several hormones and nutrients that influence appetite.

But too much and persistent inflammation can cause unpleasant symptoms, such as pain, joint stiffness, swelling, fatigue, and more acute physiological results.  When you’re on a keto diet and regularly in a state of ketosis, your body produces ketones, specifically BHB (ß- hydroxybutyrate), which is a strong anti-inflammatory chemical. BHB helps to inhibit the inflammatory pathways (NF- kB and COX-2) and also activates the AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) pathway, which assists in inhibiting the inflammatory NF-kB pathways. Additionally, BHB has been shown to exhibit effects similar to pain-relief drugs, such as NSAIDs, by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme.  Another anti-inflammatory influence is the ketogenic diet itself; the keto diet helps promote the consumption of anti- inflammatory foods, such as eggs, olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, and other foods high in omega-3s, all of which are heralded for their anti-inflammatory effects. The diet plan also promotes the avoidance of inflammatory foods. Not sure which is which? See our lists below, which feature some popular anti-inflammatory and inflammatory foods. Bene?? #6 Reduce? Acn? Bene?? #5 Improve? Bloo? Pressur? Anyone with high blood pressure will appreciate the positive blood pressure control that results from a keto diet.  While genetics plays a large role in acne, it has been suggested that a ketogenic diet may help to improve skin clarity.  Speci?c research on a ketogenic diet and acne occurrence has not yet been published, but there have been studies that have looked at a ketogenic diet in regards to hormonal balancing, speci?cally PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Women su?ering with PCOS often deal with insulin resistance, hormone imbalances, fatigue, unwanted hair, infertility, and acne. Current studies have looked at the ketogenic diet and low-carbohydrate diets in women with PCOS and have found that they were able to reduce their insulin levels, and reduce their body mass.  In studies following obese patients, those on a ketogenic diet experienced a more drastic reduction in their blood pressure than those on low-fat diets. Simultaneously, these same subjects following a keto diet had comparable weight-loss and triglycerides results as study subjects who followed a low-fat diet and received a weight-loss drug. Additionally, the systolic blood pressure in the ketogenic group decreased (which is good for lowering high blood pressure), while it increased among the low-fat/diet-drug- medication participants.  List Item 1  List Item 2  List Item 3 But how does this translate to acne? Well, a recent study, where researchers looked at the bene?ts of a low- glycemic diet on acne, showed that as insulin levels went down, the physical appearance of acne seemed to lessen. Additionally, as we discussed above, keto has been proven to aid against in?ammation, which in turn helps to lessen the in?ammation associated with acne (red and swollen pustules).     Page # 4

But, in fact, a diet low in carbohydrates and higher in fats has been shown to drastically improve the biomarkers associated with heart disease.  In a recent study of a group of normal-weight normolipidemic men (men with normal lipid amounts in their blood) who were put on a ketogenic diet for six weeks, 22 out of 26 biomarkers for cardiovascular disease risk improved significantly.  While some people experience a small increase in LDL cholesterol on a keto diet, it’s now suggested that LDL is not the “make it or break it” factor in determining heart health it was once believed to be. In fact, current research shows that LDL is a very small piece of the puzzle; in a 2.7-year randomized study looking at the influence of the Mediterranean diet on people who had previously had a heart attack, there was a significantly dramatic reduction in repeat heart attacks and overall mortality. Most remarkable, there was no difference in LDL changes between the two groups.  Now, it’s widely known that it’s the particle size of LDL that plays a larger role in determining heart health risks. Circulating LDL particles are actually quite diverse in size, and smaller, denser particles (which carry proportionately less triglyceride) are the ones associated with vascular damage and heart disease.  In fact, in a recent study of ketogenic diet participants where LDL increased, there was a shift in the size of the particles; average particles increased while the small, dense particles associated with vascular damage drastically decreased. Bene?? #8 Brai? Healt? The brain loves keto just as much as the heart. The ketogenic diet was initially implemented as a therapeutic treatment in the Mayo Clinic in 1924 to treat neurological conditions, speci?cally epileptic seizures. In a randomized clinical trial, researchers started the ketogenic diet with pediatric patients su?ering from two or more weekly seizures while on anti- seizure medications. Within three months of initiating the diet, 34 percent of the participants had a 90 percent decrease in seizures! But the research doesn’t stop with epilepsy. In recent years, the ketogenic diet has begun to be studied as complementary intervention for various neurological disorders. And while many scientists within the neurological ?eld state that the brain prefers glucose over ketones, the brain does over time (with age) lose its ability to e?ciently fuel itself with glucose alone. This is where ketones come into play.  Ketones are a natural neuroprotective antioxidant that has been shown to prevent harmful reactive oxygen species from damaging the brain. Ketones have been shown to increase mitochondrial e?ciency and production, which helps to protect brain cells from strokes and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Finally a ketogenic diet has been shown to help regulate glutamate (a dominant neurotransmitter in our brain) which can cause nerve cell damage if over stimulated.  While much of the research around the ketogenic diet and the brain is in its infancy, the research that has been done is promising and shows a need for further exploration to fully understand the scope of bene?ts and clinical uses.   Page # 5
