We have discussed the benefits of someone folowing a keto diet. But this plan isnt for everyone. We need to take into consideration each individuals genetic makeup, health conditions, metabolic breakdown and clearly identify the cases in which follwoing the keto diet is not recommended. Some specific examples of cases in which an individual should avoid following a Ketogenic diet include someone with an eating disorder, Crohns disease, individuals with current vitamin and mineral deficiencies, a young athlete that needs glucose to provide muscles with energy, a hyperresponder to dietary cholesterol, meaning, for certain individuals, there is an increase in LDL cholesterol with dietary changes. This topic is in need of further research. Other examples inlcude pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding, anyone with kidney or liver complications, medical conditions that warrant physician supervision and specific adherance to medications or diet. It is incredibly important to take a look at variations in genes and gene expression when possible to find out if this is the right plan for you.If you have a diagnosis of Type I or Type II diabetes, have had your gall bladder removed, are susceptible to kidney stones, have IBS, Crohns disease, or other gut health concerns, always check with your physician before making any significant changes to your diet.
