Keto was developed for epileptic children.
Source:Â âTo mimic the metabolism of fasting, the ketogenic diet (KD) was introduced by modern physicians as a treatment for epilepsy in the 1920s. For two decades this therapy was widely used, but with the modern era of antiepileptic drug treatment its use declined dramatically.â
Carbohydrates are the âpreferredâ fuel source for the human body, particularly the brain.
Source:Â âCarbohydrates are the main energy source of the human diet.â
Source:Â âThe mammalian brain depends upon glucose as its main source of energy, and tight regulation of glucose metabolism is critical for brain physiology.â
There is no real evidence that drinking lemon water or apple cider vinegar shots increase your metabolism.Â
Source:Â âThere are claims that lemon water and apple cider vinegar help to suppress your appetite, increase your metabolism and reduce water retention. However, there is insufficient evidence to prove this.â
âClean eatingâ is ambiguous, and doesnât have any specific definition. Whilst there can be positives to the trend, such as encouraging a more nutritious diet, there are negative aspects too.
Source:Â âClean eating has been a trend for the past decade, although thereâs no official definition of just what âclean eatingâ means.â
Some versions of clean eating offer a genuine way to eat a nutritious diet based on fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains, with healthy fats and either plant- or animal-based protein food for balanceâwhile reducing sugar and ultra-processed foods.
Other interpretations of clean eating can lead to a rigid diet that bans entire foods or food groups like grainsâespecially glu-ten-containing grainsâsoy, legumes, and dairy. These extremes are not supported by research, and you can develop nutrient deficiencies if your food choices are too limited. In some cases, clean eating, especially in its more rigid forms, can become less of a diet than an identity and could lead to disordered eating.â
1200 calories is the average recommended intake for a 1-3 year old.
âDetoxingâ is not backed up by evidence, and can cause diarrhea and dehydration.
Source: âA 2015 review concluded that there was no compelling research to support the use of âdetoxâ diets for weight management or eliminating toxins from the body. [âŠ] âDetoxificationâ programs may include laxatives, which can cause diarrhea severe enough to lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.â
Studies have shown that restricting carories caused a reduction in Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR).
Source:Â âFifteen healthy women, greater than or equal to 126% ideal body weight, were placed on the diet (420 kcal/day) and lost an average of 1.1 kg/wk until a predetermined goal weight was attained. RMR, triiodothyronine (T3), and reverse T3 decreased significantly (p less than 0.05).â
Eating dietary fat does not mean that fat will turn into body fat. It is converted into energy, as is carbohydrates, and unused energy is converted into body fat (adipose tissue). However, it should be noted that fats are high in energy in comparison to carbs and protein.
Source:Â âAny fat thatâs not used by your bodyâs cells or turned into energy is converted into body fat. Likewise, unused carbohydrates and proteins are also converted into body fat.
All types of fat are high in energy. A gram of fat, whether itâs saturated or unsaturated, provides 9kcal (37kJ) of energy compared with 4kcal (17kJ) for carbohydrate and protein.â
Both white and sweet potatoes are nutritious.
Source:Â âBoth sweet and white potatoes provide similar amounts of key nutrients including protein (2g and 3g respectively), potassium and vitamin B6, all of which contribute to a well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet.â
Being skinny does not mean you are healthy, and being underweight comes with various health risks.
Eating after 8pm wonât make you gain more weight than eating at other times.
Source:Â âGaining weight isnât caused by the time you eat. If you donât eat more than your recommended daily intake of calories, eating late wonât make you gain weight.â
