Ketogenic Diet: A Multifaceted Approach to Weight Loss and Healthy Lifestyle

Abstract

Because there is no complete, multifaceted assessment of the ketogenic diet (KD) in connection to health concerns, the study collated the information linked to the ketogenic diet's influence on the microbiome, epigenome, diabetes, weight reduction, cardiovascular health and cancer. The ketogenic diet has become the most popular diet in the world in recent years. It is the goal of the study work to learn more about the effects of a ketogenic diet on bodies, the mechanisms by which it treats neurological conditions, and the mechanisms by which it helps lose weight. The study uses a qualitative technique that relies on secondary data sources. This is a worldwide public health issue since obesity has risen in prevalence dramatically. To combat obesity, a variety of methods were used. There are several factors, one of which is food. The ketogenic diet is the most popular and commonly utilized diet for weight reduction. It was the goal of this literature review to explain how the ketogenic diet works and how it affects long- and short-term health outcomes. An examination of the short- and long-term consequences of the ketogenic diet reveals both its benefits and drawbacks. Chronically ill patients should seek the advice of a nutritionist or physician before attempting to follow this diet. Reducing animal-based protein consumption while increasing plant-based protein and polyunsaturated fat intake, water, fermented foods, and drinks are recommended for ketogenic dieters.
