KETOSIS AND SEIZURE CONTROL
- Dr. D'Agostino started doing research for ketogenic diet in 2010.
- He did substantial research into deep diving seizures and a ketogenic diet.
KETO AND WEIGHT LOSS
- There was a study that came out that said ketogenic diet was not conducive to weight loss.
- This contradicts much of what we know!
- From the medical community that implements this diet for medical purposes, even they agree that this diet is helpful for weight loss.
- Weight loss is a "side effect" of ketosis.
- Ketosis dampens your appetite.
- When you are eating ketogenic diet, you will feel more sated from less.
- You also stop eating less processed crap which is the stuff that makes you hungrier.
- Exogenous ketones: these are the ketones that you can consume in powder.
- This can help get into ketosis without actually consuming that much of fat.
- It's better just to be in real ketosis, consuming lots of fat..
- Exogenous ketones can help some, but others it has no effect.
- Dr. D'Agostino did this experiment with rodents.
- They were eating carb diets, and a good amount did not lose weight even with exogenous ketones.
- Some were able to lose 15% body fat, but this was only in a few.
- They are looking into why that is the case.
