Just a few minutes ago I posted about a study showing that l0w-carb diets increase risk of developing Afib and, thus, cardiovascular disease (CVD). Other studies have already corroborated the negative effects of such diets on the cardiovascular system. Now, the study below debunks one of the most-often cited benefits of the keto diet – i.e. the rapid weight loss one experiences while on it. As I have discussed on many podcasts and in other posts, cutting carbs works just like diuretics, so the weight-loss on low-carb\/keto diets is likely mostly water loss (i.e. anti-edematous effects) as well as muscle loss (a terrible outcome), since people who stop the low-carb-keto diet rapidly regain the lost weight despite the fact that their total body fat percentage does not change (and cannot significantly change in a matter of just 1-2 weeks, which is what it takes to regain the lost weight on low-carb\/keto after starting carb intake again) and their fat intake does not change either.<\/p>\n
