It's the year of the loss of many celebs, either it is from B-town or South film industry. This year has proven as a curse for several people.

But do you know, what's the main reason behind kidney failure as these days, every second person has issues? It's due to the Keto Diet.

Ketogenic Diet

A keto diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet. In this, you'll eat fewer carbs and substitute them with fat, following in a state called ketosis.

The main purpose of Ketogenic is to instantly lessen the consumption of carbohydrates and boost calories from fat and protein. The decline in carbs puts the body into a metabolic state which is called ketosis.

Working of Keto Diet

When your carbs input is less than 50 grams a day, the body ultimately runs out of blood sugar. Usually, our body takes 3 - 4 days for this process. Next, it starts to break down fat and protein for strength, and this can help you to lose weight.

Nevertheless, it is essential to note that the ketogenic diet is a short-term diet that is more focussed on weight loss despite health benefits.

Major Deviations

As per the health specialists, the keto diet can be proved dangerous if someone is not accurate. It can cause kidney stones and other health-related issues.

People with earlier kidney stone problems or any other health issues, should minimize this diet to prevent major problems.

Additionally, a low carb diet can be risky for people with old kidney disease. In such cases, it is always prudent to discuss with a health expert before taking any decision on making modifications to the current diet plan.
