Western dietary (WD) habits are known to cause many of today’s non-communicable diseases by promoting chronic inflammation. Recently, to counteract WD-induced metaflammation, ketogenic diets (KD) have emerged. Given the drastic change in nutrient composition during KD, it is reasonable to hypothesize large-scale changes in the human metabolome. Furthermore, this alteration in the metabolome could also … Read more
High-protein, low-carb diets can cause some side effects. However, these side effects are usually related to more significant carb restriction. For example, very low-carb diets like the keto diet can lead to symptoms22 like headaches, fatigue, constipation, and irritability. Cutting carbs too severely can also lead to low blood sugar. This is another reason why … Read more
