Side Effects of the Indian keto diet and how the ProGen method VLCK diet prevents it?

e have all heard of benefits from various diet forms and some could be mild while some may have a lifetime disease like heart related problems. With respect to the keto diet we have a few major forms of side effects to look out for if you are considering to take up keto diet. Remember its keto diet and not low calorie ketogenic diet which is entirely different from keto diet. Let's look at what keto diet is in short.

What is keto diet?

Many people know it to be a low carb diet and in fact it is one. In return people consume heavy fat food/meals to suffice the energy needed for the entire day.

There is not one “standard” ketogenic diet with a specific ratio of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, fat).

Here are the intakes in grams for a male individual who weighs about 70 to 75 kgs and consumes about 2000 to 2600 kcal a day.

1. Carbohydrates intake - 50 grams a day (less than the amount found in 3 bread slices).

2. Protein suggestion upto - 75 grams a day (equals to 12 eggs or almost 300  grams of chicken breast per day).

3. Fat recommendation - 70-80% a day or 165 grams (177 ml or 200 grams of  butter)

As staggering as the numbers are, it is hard to imagine what side effects someone might suffer from.

Some negative side effects of a long-term ketogenic diet have been suggested, including

1. Increased risk of kidney stones
2. Osteoporosis (damage to bone health and causes fractures)
