Yeah, but you've got to love Metro's science reporting. Ketosis as a mild form of DKA, mellow insulin levels...But but but Dr Ken didn't post it on YouTube so it can't possibly be true

Oh yeah, very scientific based on 30 people which may effect bone health but that also means may not.

Search using epilepsy in the search term. There's a 25,000 person study over 30 years which says similar.

The proof of the pudding......... but then that's not part of the keto diet.

In controlling the condition for which is was devised, the control of epilepsy when medication has failed.
As pointed out earlier, it doesn't work for everyone. Just like any medication for the condition.

I have read most of these posts. I started the Keto diet 7 days ago. I do not train, it is just because "cutting down" was not working for me and I want to lose weight. I have lost 3lbs this week. It was hard at first - 3 days of headaches, tiredness, serious sugar cravings. But I feel great now, and I still get to eat bacon 
I was having 2.5 tsps of sugar in hot drinks, up to 20 tsps per day, so cutting that out is a success in itself for me.
I will start taking vitamins as advised by some, can't hurt.

That's a lot of sugar leccy_andy. I never have sugar in coffee, but used to in Tea, but just 1. I'm not surprised you craved it. I've not had sugar in hot drinks for a few years.
The other way for me...coffee is far too bitter without sugar I find.

Well I found it horrible without sugar to begin with, but after two days I grew to like it. Now I love black tea

good luck. the first 2 weeks are the hardest. athletic performance suffers initially but after that it's ok. avocado pears and virgin olive oil and plenty of butter and coconut oil to up your fat intake. cheese and nuts are good. particularly walnuts and macadamia nutsI have read most of these posts.

I get reducing your sugar, pasta's and starches and eliminating breads but it just seems completely bizarre to me to up fat intake. If you're overweight, isn't the idea to burn that fat rather than eating it? Im no nutritionist or whatever first and foremost and am always looking to be educated on nutrition due to my current journey but it just seems bizarre.
