@CrystlIS @realDaveFeldman @DrNadolsky It found that when compared to non-keto low fat diets, the keto diets lowered triglycerides and promoted an increase in good cholesterol (HDL). However, these diets also increased bad cholesterol (LDL-C) even though subjects had lost weight. -The Science of Keto

@CrystlIS @realDaveFeldman @DrNadolsky A 2013 meta-analysis of the 13 randomized control studies compared the effects of low carb keto diets and low fat diets in overweight and obese adults. Among other factors, this study also looked at the effects on fat levels. (1/2)

1/ I want to give huge props to @DrNadolsky for doing this #MakingLMHR experiment! Yes, I know some of my followers may be blocked -- so I'm including an image as well. If you're interested in how this experiment came about -- read on... 🧵

@DrNadolsky It should be noted that a minority of people respond with extreme changes to cholesterol. Therefore, it is important to stay up to date with your cholesterol levels when on the keto diet. - The Science of Keto

@DrNadolsky The effects of the keto diet on cardiovascular health are mixed. The keto diet increases levels of bad cholesterol (LDL-C); however, there is emerging evidence that suggests it may also change the size of the LDL particles, making them less dangerous. 1/2

I’ve gotten my LDL-C to 150s by eating two sticks of butter per day for a week. It’s possible the LDL would continue to increase BUT it looks like it slowed down quite a bit and HDL isn’t budging. Going keto. Will report back in about 5 days is major changes occur.

@bschermd @IainCampbellPhD @ChrisPalmerMD In three separate animal studies in which depression was treated with the keto diet, all three studies showed some evidence of antidepressant-like qualities with the keto diet. In a fourth study, the keto diet was shown to successfully treat animals who had anxiety. (1/2)

@bschermd @IainCampbellPhD @ChrisPalmerMD In studies on humans, keto was used to treat depression and bipolar disorder. While the sample sizes of these studies were small, most participants showed reduced symptoms of depression. The mood stabilizing effects of the keto helped manage bipolar disorder.- The Science of Keto

Bipolar disorder- a potentially devastating mental health condition affects up to 5% aged 18-29. Lifestyle therapies & a keto diet can be a powerful yet underused treatment modality. Matt Baszucki, @IainCampbellPhD & @ChrisPalmerMD want to change that. youtube.com/watch?v=oAdN0A…

@Keto_Dude The most increase in daily calories is from fat. The shocking increase in vegetable oil consumption sky-rocketed from 276 daily calories back in 1961 and continued on a near nonstop upward trajectory to 917 daily calories in 2018 - The Science of Keto (2/2)

@Keto_Dude A popular opinion in this regard has historically been to blame sugar for this rise in obesity, but sugar consumption has been steadily declining since the 1990s, and is up by only about 100 calories since the 1960s. (1/2)

Without Beer, Flour, Sugar and Seed Oils, would this even exist?

@KenDBerryMD @ChrisPalmerMD The problem with keto is that it can be very restrictive and difficult for patients to adhere to long-term. Once they are off the diet and return to their old habits, the weight loss and diabetes return.

If you were using #KETO to reverse Type 2 Diabetes and it also improved your Depression, then you're welcome. @ChrisPalmerMD

@BioLayne @DoctorTro While the keto diet can certainly be helpful in controlling type 2 diabetes, blood sugar, and promoting weight loss in the short-term, these benefits typically only last for as long as the patient is on the diet, but not for any longer than that. - "The Science of Keto"

@BioLayne @DoctorTro Once—and if—the patient comes off the keto diet, the progress made is lost and patients gradually return to their pre-diet status.

@BioLayne @DoctorTro In a meta- analysis study, which followed patients who adhered to the keto diet for at least 12 weeks, the effects of blood sugar control were present for 6 months after the start of the diet but had waned by 12 months....

I said that the majority of the benefits of low carb diets on glycemia are due to the weight loss itself. This study does nothing to disprove that. Yes a reduction in carbohydrate intake was associated with a linear decrease in HbA1c… and body weight 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hey TRO, this is really embarrassing for you because it’s obvious you did not read the paper & if you did then you truly are either 1) not competent in reading research 2) intentionally misrepresenting the results Not sure which one is worse. Allow me to elaborate:

@Omnipotent_HF @tnseyfried Some studies show beneficial effects of keto on cancer patients, and others no improvement in overall survivability. This discrepancy in outcomes could be a result of the cancer cell’s ability to utilize the very ketones that keto dieters produce. "The Science of Keto"

@Daovie_ @JalynIsntHere "It's best to attain your ideal weight and strive to maintain it long-term rather than following the yo-yo dieting pattern. This, again, strengthens the argument that the best diet is the one that can be adhered to for the longest period of time" -The Science of Keto

@BenBikmanPhD Claims like this sparked the keto revolution "An early study found that beta-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone body, produced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the body" -The Science of Keto

@Losing200Pounds Any diet that results in calorie restriction can be helpful. Its important that you stick to a diet that does not result in "yo-yoing" perhaps they were concerned about that.

At first I thought they just cared about me and were worried that keto would hurt me, but now I realize for most of them it is about protecting their beliefs & education and not my health.

People with traditional nutrition beliefs are actually mad at me for curing my diabetes. They would rather I be on daily shots, develop dementia, and die of heart disease than have their beliefs and education challenged by keto.
