Keto is not a one-size-fits-all prescription, and working with a dietitian is crucial to ensure you're getting essential nutrients while maintaining ketosis. There's some research on the potential benefits of the ketogenic diet for many conditions, but it is very challenging for most people to keep it up for the long haul. Plus, the long-term effects on overall health are poorly understood and need more research. Not to mention, we at EatingWell don't believe in being so restrictive and avoiding nutritious foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. If you decide to go keto, work with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) to help you create a plan.
