Studies have pointed out that the saturated fat of the traditional ketogenic diet leads to an increase in bad cholesterol, while the polyketogenic diet does not increase cholesterol.

[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] The ketogenic diet is a diet chosen by people who want to lose weight in recent years. However, some studies have pointed out that the saturated fat in the ketogenic diet will lead to an increase in bad cholesterol. The attending physician of weight management at Sanshu Oriole Clinic Xiao Jiejian said that this is because most people who follow a ketogenic diet only hold that "starch foods and sugars cannot be eaten", so the total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, which is bad cholesterol) in the traditional ketogenic diet group ) concentrations were significantly increased, while the blood glucose concentration was significantly reduced in the multi-component ketogenic diet group, while the total cholesterol concentration had no significant change.

Xiao Jiejian posted on the Facebook page "Weight Loss Physician Xiao Jiejian" that the multi-component ketogenic diet has better effects on blood lipid and blood sugar metabolism than the traditional ketogenic diet. It can not only increase insulin sensitivity, but also reduce triglycerides Concentrations, while the concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the traditional ketogenic diet group were significantly increased.

Xiao Jiejian pointed out that studies have found that saturated fatty acids (SFA) can stimulate adipose tissue inflammation by activating Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a receptor that recognizes bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

In vernacular, excess saturated fat intake can lead to inflammation in the body, as cells in the gut sometimes mistake excess saturated fat for bacterial outer membranes.

Because the structure of the bacterial outer membrane is similar to saturated fat, when saturated fat is too much, it will activate a strong immune response, leading to obesity and systemic chronic inflammation.

In addition, saturated fat may inhibit protein absorption.

Cardiovascular system problems caused by ketogenic unscrupulous food

Xiao Jiejian said that when most people are on a ketogenic diet, they hold the mentality that they can’t eat one kind of starchy food and sugar, so they can eat other foods until they are full. Of course, it will lead to problems with the cardiovascular system, and even the weight has not dropped.

In fact, if you want to lose weight on a ketogenic diet, you still need to choose healthy fats and count calories to avoid excessive intake of fats, but fats are difficult to count.

Find ways to achieve dietary freedom that can be implemented in the long run

Xiao Jiejian said that he does not recommend long-term implementation of a ketogenic diet based on healthy fats.

Because restricting the intake of a certain food is not true dietary freedom for him.

The best way to lose weight is to choose a method that can stick to it.

The characteristic of the ketogenic diet is that it is difficult to implement, and when the normal diet is restored, the weight will almost always return.

If you want to be "healthier" ketogenic, you can only do "Haisu ketogenic", and you can't even eat more steak.

Xiao Jiejian pointed out that there is no need to completely give up starchy foods. On days with a lot of exercise, or when the amount of activity is high, a moderate intake of starch is helpful for muscle growth. The ingested starch can be stored in the muscles and converted into muscle. Glycogen, this process also contributes to muscle growth for better metabolism and body shape.
