Is keto a fad?
The keto diet is over 100 years old. Doctors have recommended it for Type II Diabetes patients and epileptic patients for years.
For those who are keto-adapted, they will tell you it's a lifestyle. Yes, we miss our old favourites like milk chocolate and whole wheat bread, but luckily the community has many ambassadors working to bring you delicious alternatives.
Is the keto diet harmful?
Keto can pose you harm if you are not doing it properly! For example, if you are consuming carbs and high fat, it can put a lot of stress on your body. To ensure keto works for you, it is important to educate yourself on what healthy fats are, and where to find hidden carbs.
Always consult a doctor before changing your diet.
