This article describes the health problems or drawbacks of the Keto diet. The Keto diet has low
protein diet that can cause people to have chronic kidney diseases. They also talk about how
dietary interventions and low protein diets may play a role at different levels, such as treating,
obesity, correcting hypophosphatasemia, avoiding proceeded foods, and reducing the workload
on the remnant nephrons. They say that low protein diets are however still underutilized.

This article is telling a report that someone had done about the Keto diet. The reporter said that
the ketogenic diet is highly effective at attenuating seizures. They tested a person that had been
on the Keto diet. They tested their body weight, ketone, and glucose levels. The researchers are
also talking about how that the Keto diet can cause seizures in males and not females, but it all
depends on their age.

In this article they talk about the keto diet and how it attenuates proliferation and stemness of the
stem-like cells by altering metabolism. They say that the Keto diet consist of high fat foods and
appropriate proteins with only minimal carbohydrate intake. This leads to physiological ketosis
by lowering blood glucose levels and increasing the levels of blood ketone bodies. They say that
studies of the Keto diet exhibits promising anti-tumor effects against GBM due to its induction
of physiological ketosis.

This article is talking about how to keto diet can help people with binge eating and food
addictions. They said that studies demonstrate the ketone induced appetite suppression and
enhanced satiety provide a theoretical basis for individuals using the keto diet. They say that
people who binge eat or have a big appetite can use the keto diet so they can still eat but loss
weight at the same time.

This article talks about how the keto diet effects people’s mood and energy. They did studies on
people on how they acted before the keto diet then two weeks after the keto diet. The people
gave feedback after two weeks and it gave people more energy and increased in physical activity
when they ate the keto diet. This article is trying to prove that the keto diet can be beneficial to
people when it comes to energy and physical activity.
