Is a Keto Diet for You?


Plus, much of what people lose in ketosis, at least initially, is water weight. Sugar stored in your body is bound with H2O. So when you start cutting carbs, your body grabs that sugar and releases the water. "People think they’re losing fat, but they’re actually rapidly losing water," Prado says. Are keto diets appropriate for people with diabetes? Talk to your doctor about it, but studies have shown that Supraketo Keto diets can help people improve their insulin sensitivity. "Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with a ketogenic diet," says Cunnane. But again, following a keto diet is difficult. For diabetics, it’s best done under a doctor’s supervision. "This is a prescription-strength diet," says Eric Westman, an associate professor of medicine at Duke University in Durham, N.C., and the cofounder of Heal Clinics, a company that used dietary ketosis to treat type 2 diabetes. There is some positive evidence. Cancer cells predominantly eat glucose; some cancer cells can’t metabolize ketones. "With a ketogenic diet, we may be able to essentially starve cancer cells," Prado says.


In studies on animals, researchers have shown that fasting or severe restrictions on carbohydrates can slow or halt the growth of some tumors. Small studies on humans suggest this might prove to be a useful supplement to radiation and chemotherapy. But the research is still too young to say for sure. "The results are promising," Prado says. "But they’re not consistent. And it’s really difficult to have people follow the diet." Until there is better data, it’s too early for experts to make sweeping recommendations for cancer patients who are already undergoing difficult treatment plans. So, should you try it? If the keto diet sounds difficult and complicated - well, it can be. Even in Westman’s clinic, where patients were trying to beat diabetes with the help of professionals. 50 percent of patients dropped out within a year. And some researchers are concerned about the potential for things like kidney stones, renal damage and elevated LDL cholesterol.


Others warn about "keto flu" - an electrolyte imbalance that often affects people on the diet. But for older adults, the biggest risk of fasting or keto dieting is the fact that you’re often depriving your body of the protein it needs to build and maintain muscle mass. "To build muscle, older people need more protein than younger people," Prado says. So if you’re eating 2,000 calories a day, you’d be allowed only about 300 calories, or about 75 grams, worth of protein. That’s considerably less than what Prado recommends for the average 180-pound person who wants to avoid frailty, falls and fractures. One 10-week study of a group of men over 70 found that those who ate the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (about 65 grams for a 180-pound person) lost muscle, while those eating twice that amount added muscle around their midsections and improved their leg strength. Cutting protein to "go keto" means potentially sacrificing muscle mass - and that’s a big trade-off to burn a little bit of belly fat. Bottom line: Talk to your doctor Supraketo Official first, and approach keto diets carefully and cautiously. Can Keto Halt Cognitive Decline? • Like the rest of your body, your brain runs largely on sugar, says Cunnane. As the brain ages, neural tissue can sometimes struggle to metabolize that sugar properly, leading to cognitive decline. • "Ketones are actually its preferred source of energy," Cunnane says. With as little as 12 hours of fasting, your brain begins shifting toward ketone metabolism, and as ketosis ramps up, ketones can supply more than 60 percent of your brain’s energy, which helps it overcome the problem of sugar metabolism.


Is Tropical Smoothie Cafe Healthy? Tropical Smoothie Cafe has 700 locations nationwide and features healthy menu items for a variety of diets and lifestyles. Its staple menu items include more than two dozen smoothies. But Tropical Smoothie Cafe actually has more savory food options than smoothies. It also offers flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas, sandwiches, salads, and more, generally priced under $10 each. When eating out at any quick-service restaurant, visitors may need to be cautious of the calories, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar in some menu items. With some careful reading of the menu and optional modifications, almost anyone can enjoy a nutritious meal at Tropical Smoothie Cafe. "Tropical Smoothie Cafe offers a wide range of healthy food, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. If you order a smoothie, consider it a meal replacement since it can be high in calories and sugar (some over 600 calories). You can also customize your smoothie to be made without sweetener and with healthy ingredients to make it more filling and prevent a post-meal crash.
