What are your thoughts on keto diet?

There has been some evidence that has found a ketogenic diet useful for

people who suffer with epilepsy as it helps reduce their seizures. However in

terms of the general population there isn’t evidence that it is beneficial for our health

over a diet containing carbohydrates. Things to bear in mind with a ketogenic diet

reach your fibre requirements for the day (which is beneficial for digestive and gut health)

and you may feel low energy has carbohydrates are the preferred fuel our brain and muscles.
