Studies show natural saturated fat can be beneficial and neither dietary cholesterol nor saturated fat have any significant effect on the risk of heart disease. Dietary cholesterol also has little to no impact on blood serum cholesterol, so you can eat that delicious omelet without worrying about heart disease and cholesterol. [10] [11]Mounting evidence reveals low-carb and ketogenic diets improve the risk factors of heart disease by decreasing triglycerides, increasing the HDL (good) cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, decreasing insulin resistance and inflammation, and more!There Aren’t Enough Healthy Plant Foods on KetoLow-carb doesn’t mean no carb. You can eat lots of low-carb veggies, nuts, seeds, and other nutritious, flavorful plant foods on keto. Plant foods
contain advantageous compounds like antioxidants. While some people choose a carnivore keto approach that
excludes or minimizes plant foods, others follow a vegetarian or varied omnivore style of eating.
When compared to the standard American diet, both Whole30 and keto (keto even more so) are lower in carbohydrates so they tend to be more efficient for weight loss. [1]Ketosis is a natural state of metabolism achieved by lowering carbohydrate consumption, typically to 50 grams or less daily. Someone following the Whole30 program may not necessarily be in the metabolic state of ketosis because they are likely to be eating more than 50 grams of carbohydrates in the form of starchy veggies and fruits like bananas, plantains, yams, and other compliant foods. It’s possible to merge the two and follow a ketogenic version of the Whole30 program. Just like the Whole30 program, most keto advocates and health experts encourage the consumption of natural nutrient-rich whole foods. Keto and Whole30 also don’t involve tracking calories or measuring portions unless you choose to.
