Conclusions
- The low-carbohydrate (or ketogenic) diet is supported by a large body of clinical trial research demonstrating its safety and efficacy.
- Commonly held concerns, such as the idea that low-carbohydrate diets increase mortality or increases the risk of heart disease, are not supported by the evidence.
- There are no harmful side effects of low-carbohydrate diets.
- The “keto flu” that some patients experience at the start of the diet can be treated and avoided.
- Low-carbohydrate diets can be sustainable and nutritionally complete.
