The Truth About the Ketogenic Diet : What You’re Not Being Told - Episode 114

The ketogenic diet is one of the most hyped approaches to health and weight loss — but are you being told the full truth? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real effects of keto and what you need to know before jumping in.Far too many podcasts, interviews and videos are painting an incomplete or misleading picture of the ketogenic diet. They highlight the “amazing energy” and “mental clarity” without revealing the harsh reality of the first few weeks: exhaustion, sluggishness, and feeling downright awful until the body adapts to a new “normal.” The body is incredible and will survive by adapting, but survival mode doesn’t mean optimal health.Yes, you may see rapid weight loss on keto, but it comes at a cost: loss of muscle mass, reduced bone density, poor gut health due to lack of fibre, and the long-term strain of running on your body’s “second-choice” energy system.
