[QUOTE="Hobnoblin, post: 199654, member: 34872"] The criticisms are the same old criticisms aimed at all ketogenic diets. [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/30/dukan-diet-france-health-affect?INTCMP=SRCH]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/ma ... NTCMP=SRCH[/url] I read with interest the risks given I've been following a ketogenic diet for 5 years or so. I have had the exact opposite experience. Rather than deterioration in health I've positively blossomed! I've always been fertile so no problem there. Sleep apnoea, which I had suffered for 10+ years vanished within weeks of going ketogenic. Blood pressure normalised after years of hypertension. Reversal of type-two diabetes, maintained Hba1cs in the low fives all this time. Reversal of fatty liver disease. No kidney problems. 9st weight loss. Improved mood, previously had a history of mild depression. Cholesterol levels were never too bad for me but they improved and triglycerides annihilated. I wonder where these 'experts' get their info, it must be just the same misinformation being rehashed over and over. Ah but of course this is purely anecdotal. My blood tests showing all my improvements clearly don't matter. I must have a completely different physiological set up to the average person. :roll: Does 5 years count as long term? Probably not EDIT: Just saw Patch's post about it being very low fat too. i doubt that I could follow that diet and I'd have concerns about being able to take in fat soluble vitamins. Hmmm probably isn't sustainable long term then. Ignore my post. :lol: [/QUOTE]
