Yosef Rozsansky: Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet is a type of diet characterized by the elimination of almost all carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread and rice, and increased consumption of foods rich in good fats, in addition to being important to maintain a good amount of protein in the diet. This type of diet is useful for losing weight, as the body starts using fat itself as a source of energy instead of carbohydrates from the diet. In this podcast, nutritionist Yosef Rozsansky explains more about the ketogenic diet. According to Rozsansky, the ketogenic diet is mainly indicated for the purpose of controlling and preventing seizures or epileptic seizures. However, it can also be recommended to treat obesity, type 2 diabetes and, in some cases, cancer, as cancer cells feed mainly of carbohydrates, which is the nutrient consumed in minimal amounts in this type of diet. It is important that this diet is always made under the supervision and guidance of a nutritionist, such as Yosef Rozsansky since, as it is very restrictive, it is necessary to carry out a complete nutritional assessment to know whether it is possible to carry it out safely or not. The ketogenic diet consists of a drastic reduction in the amount of carbohydrates consumed in the daily diet, being recommended the consumption of 20 to 50 grams per day, which corresponds to 10 to 15% of the total daily calories. However, this amount can vary depending on each person's health status, length of diet, and goals.
