Keto Diet, all the pros and cons (with 7 myths to dispel)

There ketogenic diet (or Keto Diet, in English) a diet based on the reduction of carbohydrates, which pushes the body to produce ketoneswhich are the result of the metabolic breakdown of fats in the liver, to be used as energy. Since we are descended from our ancestors who survived famine, we have very efficient defense systems, including ketogenesis – explains Dr. Stefano Erzegovesi, Specialist in Psychiatry and Nutrition – but this does not mean that it is appropriate to forcefully stimulate them for long periods. The prerogative of the ketogenic diet is the high consumption of animal proteins, but if everyone in the world followed it, we would face a certain extinction for environmental consumption, so a diet cannot be good for humans and toxic for the environment.
