I had my gall bladder removed. My surgeon told me in convo that the KETO Diet was his--and other internists---best friend. He said...imagine how hard your organs have to work to digest straight fat? Straight protein? Then he said imagine the logic.......you can best lose weight by eating straight animal fats. Lose fat......by eating fat????

Do people lose weight on that diet? Sure but they lose weight on every diet because all diets limit.......................calories.

@anythingoes477 I know 4 older adults who were diagnosed as type 2 diabetics that went on the keto diet for about 6 weeks and got their blood sugar levels under control so well that they didn’t need to take Metformin any longer, they gradually introduced some healthy carbs back into the diet monitoring their blood sugar and watching for any foods that might spike the levels.
@cherokeepatti Keto didn't do that........getting rid of fat carb (calories) did that.

@anythingoes477 they were eating fats though. It was getting the carbs down.

@anythingoes477 I know how to detox my liver and clean my gall bladder out. Beet juice is one way or you can get betaine supplements that will help. There is a doctor that has You Tube videos explaining this.
@cherokeepatti And in the process it was overburdening their kidneys, liver and gall bladders---to get rid of the excess fat. Just because something has a good short term benefit does not mean it won't or can't do long term damage to something else in your body. In most cases people only need to lose a few pounds or they quit the diet so "long term" isn't done to case a problem.
@cherokeepatti My point was------KETO won't "detox" you. Exactly the opposite.

@anythingoes477 it gets the blood sugar levels down to manageable after you go off it. That’s what I said.
