How Good Is The Keto Diet?

by Harras Wasim

Analyzing the biggest diet fest of recent years, we are going to debunk the well acclaimed Keto Diet and see whether it is the diet to beat or has this diet really proven that what we are is what we eat?

The diet trend has always been a self-marketing tool, the results always speaking for itself. With little place to run or to hide and every cheat meal adding to the weighing machine, it’s easy to see which diet can really work and which is just plain old hypothesis.

In 2017, a new diet regime rose to popularity with Keto being the trend setter diet all over. With its fame rising in Hollywood, Halle Berry and Kourtney Kardashian were quick to show their results on social media and their positive reviews were hence forth set in stone.

The famous diet attracts a vast weight conscious community with its simple methods and straight forward routines. You only have to have a large proportion of fatty calories like butter, nuts, and almond milk. Keeping one on the go at all times. Catering to the large appetite that most of us have; the fat consumption seems really tempting and it seems far better than to starve on salad diets and juice fasts.

Adding proteins to the mix is always a mood changer. All kinds of meat mean all kinds of fun recipes to try with little to no restriction on the spices or sauces as fancy condiments. Life seems fulfilled with this heavenly diet as you start seeing results instantly and work out is not that much essential as you think it is. Why need to over-heat at the gym when your diet is doing all the weight lose work for you.

Here’s where things get difficult with the keto diet and people start to lose faith. In this diet, vegetables are only restricted to leafy greens that can either be boiled, sautéed or more so pureed into some green chutni. Then comes that nightmarish fruit protocols. A minute quantity of fruit can be consumed and that too on rare occasions. Keeping on with the misery that every diet inflicts; carbs are simply minimised to bare a two slices of bread at max.

There’s a reason why no one can keep with the keto diet more than six months. Surely, it has promising results with its theories on fat loss through eating fat based items and eliminating carbs, but the drawback is consistency. The diet makes one so afar from reality that a cheat day is bound to creep up anytime soon.

Though we speak for all those health freaks out there, we still believe that standard and simple measures to proportioning food and drinking ample of water is best way to furthest go in the weight loss journey.

Diets will come and go, but we know that our love for food is here to stay and we must do our best to keep our cravings to one end and our health on the other. A diet by design is the best form of diet rather than one with a lot of opposition.
