We all expected keto diet to be just another diet fad that would die its own death. But this diet is booming and increasingly getting adopted. The biggest reason being that it helps people lose weight in a shorter span of time. To give you a brief about how this diet works, you have to get most of your daily calories from fats (60 per cent), followed by moderate protein (30 per cent) and minimum carbs (10 per cent). When your body does not get enough carbs, it utilises fat for energy. While it helps people lose weight faster and has even helped many manage their diabetes and skin issues, there are others who complain of issues like constipation, headaches and irritability - because it lacks fiber! So when it was observed that the keto fever was far from being over, entered a new version of the diet dubbed Keto 2.0. The new version of the diet has been launched with a few changes in the original plan:- Keto 2.0 is more flexible.- It addresses the concerns of the medical fraternity about the high intake of saturated fats.

What exactly is Keto 2.0?

James Corden spoke out against fat shaming last year. Its a very personal issue for The Late, Late Show host and he opened up this week about why he went public with his feelings, specifically relating to a fellow late night show host.

Find out what Corden had to say and why he chose to talk about it.

Bill Maher on HBOs Real Time With Bill Maher shared his opinion that people who are overweight should be shamed, and often. The host insisted that sparing obese people the painful truth isnt doing them any favors.

In August, 53 Americans died from mass shootings, Maher said in September 2019 . Terrible right? Do you know how many died from obesity? Forty thousand.

Fat shaming doesnt need to end, it needs to make a comeback. Some amount of shame is good. We shamed people out of smoking and into wearing seat belts. We shamed them out of littering and most of them out of racism. Shame is the first step in reform.

Corden spoke out the same month after hearing Maher say that Fat isnt a birth defect and Nobody comes out of the womb needing to buy two seats on the airplane. Mahers comments were shocking in how purposefully they were meant to inflict pain.

Theres a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy, and were not, Corden stated in reply to Maher on his late show. We get it, we know. . . Ive struggled my entire life trying to manage my weight and I suck at it. Ive had good days and bad months. . .

In the meantime, Bill, while youre encouraging people to think about what goes into their mouths, Corden concluded, just think a little harder about what comes out of yours.

Meghan McCain responded to Cordens rebuttal, praising him for standing up to the acerbic Maher.

As someone who has been fat shammed (sic) pretty much since puberty and is told on a daily hourly basis by the internet I need to lose weight/diet, she wrote, I am so grateful for @JKCordens message here. Also so much of the obesity epidemic is about poverty and access to health care.

Corden revealed why he felt it was necessary to make clear that Mahers words and attitude were horribly wrong. He told The New Yorker that he and his late night show writers worked for three days to get his message right.

I just think its out of touch with actual people, Corden said with regards to the comments made by Maher.

You cannot forget what most peoples lives are like. You cannot forget how f***ing hard it is.

And maybe the only slice of joy in your life is that cheeseburger. And its cheap. There are no chubby kids at my sons school, because its a private school on the west side of LA.

Pinch Of Nom: 'We're just two normal people who are still trying to lose weight. If we're busy or emotional, things happen, eating habits can change'

BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Pinch Of Nom creators Kate Allinson and Kay Featherstone - whose first book became the UK's fastest-selling non-fiction title since records began - are back with another helping of slimming recipes, this time called Pinch Of Nom: Everyday Light.

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/books/pinch-of-nom-were-just-two-normal-people-who-are-still-trying-to-lose-weight-if-were-busy-or-emotional-things-happen-eating-habits-can-change-38914848.html

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/life/578cd/38914845.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/2020-02-01_lif_56644264_I1.JPG

Pinch Of Nom creators Kate Allinson and Kay Featherstone - whose first book became the UK's fastest-selling non-fiction title since records began - are back with another helping of slimming recipes, this time called Pinch Of Nom: Everyday Light.

The pair, who are partners in business and in life, live in the Wirral, north-west England, in Allinson's family home, which is where the idea for Nom was cooked up - first as a blog and then on Facebook, where they have 1.5 million followers.

Here, we chat to the pair about food favourites, their secret to weight-loss and not putting too much pressure on yourself...

What's the food you remember growing up with?

Featherstone: "Mine would be 'Tin of Praters', which is from the first Pinch Of Nom book. It's a bacon, onion and potato bake which is really simple, served with carrot and swede, that's what I remember growing up."

Allinson: "Mine would be my mum's Lancashire hotpot, which is on the website. It was comfort food."

What's your guilty pleasure?

Featherstone: "Usually an expensive piece of steak. Sometimes we go beyond rib-eye and get a fillet."

Allinson: "My weakness is probably cheese - any type of cheese."

You lost 14 stone between you over four years of eating the slimming recipes you've devised. Do you have any advice for anyone trying to lose weight?

Featherstone: "You're not alone. There are so many people trying to do the same thing. So many people we see are trying to drop so much weight in so many months - don't do it to yourself. If you have a bad week or a bad day, these things happen."

Allinson: "Don't put all the pressure on yourself. When people are going through a journey on their own, there are lots of people out there in the same boat. And it's okay to fall off the wagon. You just have to try to get back on it."

How difficult has it been for you to lose weight over the years?

Featherstone: "It's the hardest thing we've ever done."

How have you lost all that weight?

Featherstone: "We don't really think about it. That's the secret. We don't weigh ourselves every day. We just get on with it."

Allinson: "We don't pile the pressure on ourselves, we just carry on. We are quite conscious about what we are eating."

Favourite Pinch Of Nom recipe?

Featherstone: "I like the keema pie, which is like a curried shepherd's pie (from the new book)."

Allinson: "I'd probably go with Sloppy Dogs (from the latest book, a new take on the classic hot dog, featuring lean pork mince combined with fried onions, mustard and ketchup)."

Do you have dinner parties?

Featherstone: "No, we are not the type."

If you were having a dinner party, what would you serve?

Allinson: "Probably the creamy garlic chicken from our first book."

Featherstone: "And for dessert, maybe pineapple upside-down cake (on the website) or the cheesecake-stuffed strawberries. They're a favourite."

What are your weaknesses?

Featherstone: "They're the same as anybody else. We like a bit of chocolate. We like the odd Chinese. Kate is a cheese fiend."

Are there times when you're more likely to fall off the wagon food-wise?

Featherstone: "If we're busy or emotional, things happen, eating habits can change. But we try and avoid as much noise as we can, so we can get on with what we do."

The book has been sold into 15 countries including China, Korea and the US. Might you go down the exercise path in tandem with future cookbooks?

Allinson: "We might team up with somebody at some point, but it's not something that we'd do at the moment. We are not a diet plan - it's just a book of recipes."

Were back at it again!

After Teris wonderful success in 2019, my hope is that youll soon see more of the same with Robin Satterwhite and Isaac Miller. They are two interesting candidates, both excited to take on the Salisbury Post Wellness Program. Readers will get monthly reports on their progress,

Robin Satterwhite is 55 years old and chairs the Humanities Department at Rowan Cabarrus Community College. She grew up in Murphy, NC, but has lived in Salisbury for almost 30 years now. Robin has two grown daughters and lives on a farm in western Rowan county with a dog and two cats.

Robin said, I want to be the best I can be for the last half of my life. I also want to combat the crippling anxiety that has gotten worse with menopause. Another goal is to get off blood pressure medication and be healthy. Accountability has been missing in my past attempts at losing weight, getting healthy and feeling better overall. After starting many times, I have trouble carrying through. Knowing a personal trainer and a partner are expecting me on certain mornings at designated times keeps me focused. I cant talk myself out of that! Also, working with someone who knows fitness and can provide efficient guidance makes me want to keep coming back.

Isaac Miller is 37 years old and from the small town of Norwood, NC. Hes a police officer here in Salisbury.Isaac said, Ive struggled to stay in shape and thought I needed motivation and accountability to keep me on track. Also, I really wanted to work out to lose weight but never truly knew how. Im competitive, not with Robin, just with myself. If I see that I lost 3 pounds this week, Ill want to lose 4 pounds next week, always striving to be better. Like most people, I look at what gets results and Im drawn to it. With an organized program such as this, I do as instructed with great results so far.

We started the Post wellness program during the first week of January and have been at it since. Robin and Isaac meet with me twice a week and they exercise on their own at least four more days. Both are already making progress. Robin said, Getting into a fitness routine gives me some structure. I have enjoyed getting to know Isaac and David and hearing different fitness stories. I have also enjoyed getting to know patrons and staff of the Forum and at the YMCA. Better sleep has helped the anxiety to wane.

On the same page, Isaac added, The best thing is how Ive felt. My doctor asked me what have I been doing. Blood tests have shown great improvement in my testosterone and other areas. I feel better emotionally, physically and mentally while having more energy. Theres more clarity throughout my day after a good workout. My stressful job is easier to deal with since starting the program. Also, I enjoy having something to look forward to, especially Monday and Thursday mornings and catching up with Robin and David.

Past readers know that we set both short term and long-term goals in this program. Robin said, For February, I want to get better at counting calories while becoming more aware of better foods for my weight loss journey. Im learning about the value of complex carbohydrates. I need to give up macaroni and cheese! I dont have a problem with desserts, but I can put a hurtin on some mac and cheese! I want to continue with step classes and maybe look for a kickboxing class plus improve my endurance.

Isaac has similar thoughts. He said, Goals for February include dropping ten more pounds. I want to kick the craving for sweets and sodas. Ive only had two soft drinks in January, and expect to have none in February. I also want stop procrastinating, often waiting until the last minute to get my exercise.

Finally, we talked about a yearly goal. Robin said, I would like to lose 50 pounds, get off blood pressure medication, and control my anxiety. I would like to be able to tie my shoes comfortably!Isaac added, There are many parts of my body I havent been able to see for a while without the aid of a mirror. By the end of this year, I want to look down and see everything. Originally, I set my goal at losing 60 pounds but think I can lose 100 pounds. I started this year nearly 330 pounds, thats a lot of man to carry around. With the aid of this program, I can surpass my goal.

We did our final January weigh-in on Thursday morning. Robin has dropped three pounds and Isaac is down eight . Were off to a nice start. See you at the end of February!

A woman who was able to lose a jaw-dropping 151 pounds says she owes her transformation to low-carbmeal prepping and CrossFit, which helped her break her "vicious" emotional eating cycle.

Frances Carpenter, a 30-year-oldexecutive assistant living in Riverside, Calif., explained in an articlefor Women's Health that her "dysfunctional" childhood led her to constantly stress eat, which caused herto pack on pounds throughout her adolescence, landing her at a weight of 200 pounds by the time she finished high school.

The problem persisted forCarpenter, even after she moved away from the town where she grew up.Over the next seven years, she continued gaining weight and, in 2016, she eventually reached her peak of 331 poundsat the age of 16.

"I had limited physical ability when I was at my heaviest and I was very sad and depressed, so I continued to eat to soothe myself with food. It was an extremely hard cycle to break," Carpenter wrote.

"I couldn't walk for long periods of time, and I couldn't comfortably fit in restaurant booths or movie theater seats. I was in a horrible place physically, but it was also hurting my mental state," she added."I knew I wasn't living my life to its full potential, and there were so many things I wanted to experience without my weight being the first thing I always had to consider."

Desperate to make a change,Carpenter turned to preparing low-carb and nutritious meals for herself each week, which helped kick her weight loss into full gear. Within 10 months, she was able to lose 100 pounds.

Carpenter also developed a regular exercise schedule along the way to further propel her fitness journey.

"I currently work out five days a week, alternating between different body parts," she said."Three days a week I do 60 minutes of cardio, and the other two I do 30 minutes of cardio, which is usually the StairMaster. I also spent about three years doing CrossFit, which helped me build a workout routine and get stronger as well."

Since reaching her peak weight of 331 in January 2016,Carpenter says she has lost 151 pounds in total. Her goal for 2020 is to reach 170 pounds in total weight loss and also to maintain the work she has already put in.

Although Carpenter said the journey was necessary for her, she warns that it was also a surprisingly emotional struggle and encouragesthose seeking to lose weight to try to involve their friends and family for support, if possible.

"My weight loss has changed me in ways that I did not know were possible. It has of course made me more confident in the looks department, but I have gained a new level of self-love,"she wrote. "I choose myself now, and have made it my priority to never go back to my old ways. I have a new outlook on life and enjoy the little things that I so desperately wanted before."

Da'Shaun Harrison x Jan 31, 2020

TW: this piece discusses anti-fatness, fat camps, diet & exercise, and familial/social child abuse. please proceed with caution.

I have been fat for as far back as my memory will allow me to reach. Before I even knewor cared, for that matterabout the largeness of my body in comparison to others around me, others made clear to me that it was an issue. Not quite an issue for me, but an issue for how they perceived me. Left and right, day-in and day-out, people projected their hate for fatness onto my body.

I was picked on and bullied constantly in elementary school for my weight. I was a hypersensitive little fat boy who everyone saw as a target. Other than a few, even my friends treated me horribly for my size. I would pick on myself for not being able to do the pull-ups in PE before my PE teacher, or my peers, could. I would pretend that I was just apathetic about the mile run, and would walk it instead so that no one could make fun of the fat boy who tried hard to keep up with his thin peers and failed. Eventually, after I internalized all of this, it led to me being the angry fat Black boy who posed a threat to others. I started fighting a lot, being combative with my teachers, threatening my peers, and ultimately spending more time in suspension than I did in class. This would continue through middle school. There is a conversation there about anti-fat bullying as part of the school-to-prison pipeline, but that is a different conversation for a different piece.

What this all led back to, however, was peoples hate for my body. But I was a very active child, so I could not fathom the reasons for why anyone would loathe my body for something that I seemingly could not change.

When I was 4, my mom met my now-stepfather who also happened to be a coach of various sports. At a very early age, I played just about every sport imaginable. Football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf. If you name it, I have likely played iteven if it was not coached by him. And as anyone in the US public school system knows, in elementary school, they kept us very active; from field days, to PE tests, to a daily required recess. But because of my various illnesses, and the harm I was experiencing by my doctors, my mom worried. As any parent would, considering how scarce and new fat politics isespecially at that time. But the result of this panic was essentially an at-home fat camp.

I was periodically put on crash diets and inadvertently judged, essentially, for eating. My mom used to put me in sweatsuits and wrap me in black trash bags, and have me run for miles. I was no older than 8. And I had asthma. But for miles, I ran. Sometimes shed join me sans the trash bags and sweatsuits. At times, I would make it fun and pretend I was Missy Elliott from that infamous video, but most times I just felt defeated. As I have already written before, diets and diet culture are only successful at stealing out of the pockets of fat people and punishing us for our bodies. And running around my neighborhood in that uniform, for everyone to make a spectacle of my body, felt like I was being put on display at a zoo. And what once was my one escape from overwhelming fat hate became one of the sites of my most traumatic anti-fat experiences.

In 1999, a 14-year-old girl by the name of Gina Score died because of forced exercise and a lack of care around fat childrens bodies. Gina, who had been part of a camp run and operated by military veterans, had been tasked with a 2.7-mile run. She fell on the ground, gasping for air. After four hours of her instructors laughing, drinking soda, and accusing Gina of faking, a doctor came and called for an ambulance immediately. Ginas organs had failed. She had died.

In an extreme case like this, many would call what happened to Gina abuse. And it is. But it is also murder. The abuse did not start and end with Ginas collapse or with the coaches negligence, though; the abuse began with the idea that Gina ever needed to be punished for her weight in the first place.

One of the most infamous fat camps in the country, Camp Shanewhich has been in operation since 1968, has been featured on channels like TLC, OWN, MTV, and more. According to their own website, they have hosted well over 20,000 children at their campsites. Its marketed as just another summer camp with the friendly intent to help children make friends and fit in, but the reality is that these camps do not exist for any other reason but to punish fat children. No matter how fun the camps are supposed to be, they are all designed to teach fat children that their fatness is something to be ashamed of. And much like diet programs, fat camps are nothing more than a capitalist money-grab. Most of the results, just like with dieting, are only temporary.

Children are sent to these boot camp-like weight loss programs to be shamed for their weight; manipulated into believing that the abuse theyre forced to endure is about being accepted instead of being punished for owning a body that looks different from what the rest of the world sees as normal. And I continue to use the word punish throughout this essay because thats what it is. Fat kids are being penalized for their bodies; whipped into shape; disciplined for something the rest of the world views as an offense and a breach of an imagined moral code.

Everyday life for fat kids is like a fat camp. Even for those of us who have never been to one. Mistreated for having bodies that take up more room than humans are allotted. Harmed for showing up in a world hellbent on making thinness a universal norm. And no one other than fat people will name this for what it is: a very targeted form of child abuse. There is no other way to put it. Forcing exercise and diets on your children is an attempt to punish them for their (perceived) fatness and that is abuse.

To be clear: I do not blame my mom. She was doing what she thought was best. And I imagine that most other parents believe they are, too. I blame the medical-industrial complex that thrives off of harming fat people. I blame the diet industrial complex that seeks to steal from fat people. I blame the public school system for seeking to punish literal children for their bodies. And most yet, I blame our collective and societal commitment to making exercise and fitness about weight loss and punishment rather than feeling good in your body and in motion.

Forcing Children To Lose Weight Is Child Abuse - Wear Your Voice

Most of us, me included, could stand to drop a few pounds. Or in my case, at least 20 more pounds.

But in todays world, a person looking to lose weight is a bit like the the Ashbrook Green Wave going up against the Green Bay Packers.

Victory can perhaps be had, but the odds are clearly stacked against us.

Back in mid-November, I had a bit of a health scare. Actually it was more of a health terror. Lying on a bed in an urgent care while the room rotated around me was more than enough to induce fear and trembling and promises of reform to the Almighty.

The only person to blame for my prone position? Me. Or rather my love for mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, hash brown potatoes.

And bread, lets not forget bread. Cornbread and cathead biscuits in particular.

A steak or a chicken breast without accompanying potatoes of some sort? Unthinkable!

Saturday morning without fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits? That aint living!

Life without a big ol fully loaded cheeseburger and fries every week or so? Shoot me now!

Or, let me live.

Let me replace those potatoes with salad, broccoli, or beans.

Whole wheat toast complements livermush pretty well.

And both my wallet and my heart are thanking me for ending the burger habit.

So yes, progress has been made.

But again, the empty-calorie, wouldnt I taste so good traps are everywhere.

Consider the grocery store.

The fresh fruits and vegetables meld directly into the deli-bakery -- a bakery loaded with doughnuts, bear claws, muffins, cakes, pies, and every sort of sugar and fat laden treat imaginable.

The ice cream aisle? Dont even turn down it.

And the little mini-displays planted like landmines everywhere around the store are heaped to the heavens with Entenmanns treats, Little Debbie cakes, and every sort of fried pie known to man.

Consider the proliferation of fast food.

When I was but a wee lad, the nearest McDonalds to our home was on Tunnel Road in Asheville. A stop there for supper on the way home from a big outing in Cherokee was a rare and special treat.

Now, it seems every crossroads in America has a McDonalds... and a Burger King... and a Hardees... and a Bojangles... and a KFC. Places where a single meal often contains upwards of 2,000 categories.

And consider TV advertising.

On broadcast sports, which is about the only thing I watch on regular TV, commercials focus endlessly on trucks, beer, snacks, and fast food. Luckily trucks have no calories.

And so the struggle goes on.

In the early autumn, my scales registered a few pounds north of the 200-pound mark each morning.

As January ended, they were just north of 180.

Before summer returns once again, my goal is a reading between 160 and 165.

The odds are against me, thats for sure.

But Im betting on me.

Just like I would bet on Ashbrook against Green Bay.

As Mets relief ace Tug McGraw once proclaimed, Ya gotta believe!

Looking to lose weight? Odds are stacked against us - Lexington Dispatch

It seems like everyone shares a common struggle and common goal: How do we get healthier, look better and feel better? We all agonize over the search for the easiest diet and the fastest weight-loss tricks. And there is no shortage of supplements, weight-loss fads and diets. There is so much noise it is hard to really understand what works and what does not.

Can CBD be the answer to our weight loss and fitness goals? The rumors are true: You really can lose weight with a combination of CBD and terpenes.

With CBD weight loss, you dont have to overcomplicate the pathway to your goals. Ive seen it firsthand with Tune CBD Weight Loss Elixir. It works with your body to achieve a natural, gentle and longterm positive change in your health.

Whether our desire to lose weight is rooted in aesthetics, wellness or both, the pursuit for a leaner lifestyle seems to be cyclical and never-ending. This frustrating pattern of diet and weight gain is due to one simple fact: Most of us are doing it wrong. Science and studies have shown us time and again that fad diets dont work. While they are sometimes quick fixes, the results seldom stick around.

However, there is one proven way to lose weight and keep it off: calories in vs. calories out. All you really have to do is curb your overeating and Tunes CBD and terpene blend can help do just that. To me, Tunes CBD Weight Loss Elixir is the diet that works.

As we all know, limiting ones caloric intake is easier said than done. Its frustratingly difficult to get our urges in line. Tunes Weight Loss Elixir is made with CBD and enhanced by a proprietary blend of terpenes that use the natural powers of hemp to tell your body when to stop eating.

Weve tried just about every tactic there is and have finally settled into a comfortable and results-driven CBD routine that has increased our wellbeing tenfold. Here is what weve learned on our journey, broken down into 10 quick facts to help build the foundation of your new whole-body wellness habit.

Everyone holds fat in their body good fat and bad fat. Good fat helps you to maintain a healthy weight, and those who are lean and metabolically healthy tend to have more of it. Bad fat accumulates under the skin and gathers around our internal organs. Bad fat is what causes weight gain, cellulite and generally affects our overall physical and mental health negatively.

Fat increases when you consume more calories than you burn. On the plus side, this also means that fat decreases when you consume less calories than you burn.

You dont control your hunger. Being hungry is not due to a lack of motivation or willpower, but rather a very natural and biological response to our bodys signals. We cannot simply will ourselves to eat less; the reason for this exists in a tiny part of your brain called the hypothalamus.

The most active part of the hypothalamus tells us we are hungry and must eat more to survive. The weaker portion tells us when we are full. Most of the time this stronger part of the brain wins and we are left unaware of our bodys actual limits, causing us to overeat.

To ease false urges and be aware of our bodys limits, we must learn to better understand its signals. We can improve communication by using an expertly crafted CBD formula to stimulate the brain during meals, shutting down the desire to overeat.

The cannabinoid THC is almost legendary for creating an appetite, or, the munchies. THC increases your bodys hunger communication, encouraging excess calorie consumption and weight gain. Luckily for us, enhanced levels of certain cannabis-derived terpenes suppresses appetite. How does it do this? By doing just what we want it to, stimulating the right portion of the brain thus shutting down the desire to overeat.

The fat reducing effects of CBD were first observed in a 2012, when it was shown to significantly reduced total food consumption by:

An alternative to harmful diets and snake oil supplements has long been searched for, and has finally been found in a combination of CBD and enhanced terpenes. After multiple studies and success stories, this CBD diet has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to fight unwanted weight gain.

Most of us living in Southern California are no stranger to CBD. Los Angeles is virtually littered with advertisements and products; we often dont go more than a mile without seeing its presence. However familiar with the name we are, most of us arent experts in the subject which makes us targets for inflated and exaggerated promises. In order to see actual results from CBD weight loss, we have to find a product that is rooted in science with proven results.

Tune Wellness CBD is a THC-free, terpene enhanced, broad-spectrum liquid that helps promote fat loss through three separate physiological channels including increasing energy at the mitochondrial level, increasing fat burning by improving the ratio of good fat to bad fat and appetite suppression.

If You Are Ready For A Lasting Change, Try Tune Wellness

It works with precision, opening the communication channels between your brain and your body, putting a stop to harmful overeating.

This Natural Blend is the Answer to Your Weight Loss and Fitness Goals - L.A. Weekly

This is part ofCanadian Health and Wellness, a series in which Corus radio stations nationwide dig into health issues facing Canadians with the help of some of todays most respected diet and exercise practitioners. Read the rest of the series here.

By 2023, an additional 1.7 million Canadians will be obese, according to a 2017 study from the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The report estimates 25 per cent of the population is currently obese thats about 9.35 million people.

With just three years until the OECD milestone, people are attempting to fight the battle of the waistline bulge, and many are exploring the keto diet as an option to lose weight.

A ketogenic diet is rich in proteins and fats, and it usually includes plenty of meats, eggs, sausages, cheeses, fish, nuts, butter, oils, seeds and fibrous vegetables.

The keto diet forces the body to burn ketones from fat instead of glucose from carbohydrates, and during that transition, a persons body can experience something called the keto flu. As the name suggests, it leads to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headaches, constipation, diarrhea and irritability, among others.

Tammy Crowley of Welland, Ont., is one of them.

Shes been following the ketogenic diet for two years.

Crowley says she has lost 35 pounds and kept it off. Over the years, shes tried everything from diet programs to more drastic measures.

I dont want to specifically say any one program, Crowley says. Everyone is different, and whatever works for you is great. I just found something that finally worked for me. Ive actually, through the years, Ive had gastric bypass (surgery) for losing weight, and yes, that was great in the beginning, but you put it back on.

Its not an easy fix. Unless you learn properly whats good for you, thats the best way to go, Crowley continues. Im not running any of the other programs down. This just works for me. Ive never felt better. Im going to be 60 soon and I have more energy now that when I was in my 20s.

The effectiveness of the keto diet as part of a long-term lifestyle change is still unknown, but there are medical uses for the regimen. For example, the keto diet is being used to help treat children with epilepsy.

Jennifer Fabe, a registered nutritionist with the Division of Pediatric Neurology at McMaster Childrens Hospital, says the therapeutic ketogenic diet has been used as a treatment for epilepsy for nearly a century.

However, she stresses, it is customized for each patient and only used when people meet certain medical criteria. Fabe says the diet is monitored regularly for effectiveness, tolerance and side effects at home and by a medical team.

Fabe is also the president of Matthews Friends, a charity that specializes in ketogenic dietary therapies for children and adults with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Dr. Andrew Mente, an epidemiologist with the Population Health Research Institute at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., says the keto diet can also have benefits for those with Type 2 diabetes.

Conceptually, it is a diet that is high in fat, adequate in protein and very low in carbohydrates, Mente explains. And conceptually, this diet would make sense for people with carbohydrate intolerance, i.e. people with Type 2 diabetes, in controlling their glucose levels and possibly even reversing their diabetes.

There is evidence that when people are assigned to a ketogenic diet if they have Type 2 diabetes, they are able to normalize their glucose levels and possibly reverse diabetes, he adds. In people from general populations, generally healthy populations without diabetes, the evidence is less clear. So, what we would need going forward is more study to investigate both the effectiveness and safety of a ketogenic diet in general populations.

Mente says the ketogenic diet is one approach for Type 2 diabetes, but its not the only diet for people with Type 2 diabetes. Its too soon to say what the long-term impacts of the diet will be on both those with Type 2 diabetes and the general population.

According to Mente, the best idea for those without medical issues requiring a ketogenic diet is to eat a balanced diet.

A nuanced approached is seldomly promoted. Everybody seems to take an extreme position on a variety of matters, and diet is no different, Mente says. For general populations, I would say a nuanced approach is more appropriate going forward until we get the evidence (on the long-term impact of keto) because we want to make recommendations that are evidenced-based.

But what about using the keto diet for weight loss?

Dan Tisi, registered dietitian at St. Josephs Health Care in Hamilton, says there are some pros and cons to losing weight with the keto diet. If theres a medical indication there are some benefits, like epilepsy, then the keto diet can have a positive impact. However, for weight loss, Tisi views it as another tool in the toolbox.

With ketogenics having an emphasis on certain fats and proteins, people need to be aware of the nutrition that may be missing if they are on keto, Tisi says.

A lot of people will have to do supplementation of some kind with higher-quality supplements because there tends to be a B vitamin deficiency. Electrolytes are the most common thing thats missing, usually.

They are also responsible for things like the keto flu that people experience in the beginning, especially the electrolytes part, and magnesium has to be added to that as well. Although, most North Americans are already deficient in magnesium, Tisi explains.

Its best if you are going ahead with keto to do it with the assistance of someone that can really assess your situation and help you determine if this is the tool you should be reaching for.

For someone like Crowley, who has struggled with weight issues for most of her life, she is not willing to easily let go of something that has worked.

She says she is aware that some cardiologists have concerns about ketos emphasis on full fat and high protein, and so does she. Crowleys father died at 51 from a heart attack, and she says that plays on her mind. She says she did a lot of research before starting keto, and Crowley is willing to shoulder the medical risk.

Id rather feel as good as I feel right now and only live another five years than live another 10 years and feel like crap.
