Experts at the American Heart Association say the keto diet may help when it comes to weight loss, but may be detrimental for your heart.
Neither is necessarily heart-healthy and can lead to an increase in LDL or bad cholesterol according to the AHA.
"This increase in so-called bad cholesterol will increase our risk of developing heart disease. And that risk is approximately twofold. So people who have the diet of a ketogenic kind of principle will increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke," said cardiologist Dr. Dmitriy Neveley of Northwell Staten Island University Hospital. Keto limits carbohydrate intake to less than 10% of one’s daily calories but is high in fat.
"It focuses on high. Fiber, which helps our gut bacteria and helps decrease inflammation in our and our bodies," said Neveley. The AHA says the key to a healthy heart and living a longer life, is embracing healthy food groups that you’ll eat every day. Foods that are low in salt and sugar and mostly plant-based.
