Levels Advisor Robert Lustig, MD, explains the potential issue that can arise on a ketogenic diet.
Ketogenic diets are low-carb and high-fat. The fat primes beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin, but without carb consumption, insulin isn’t released into the bloodstream.
If you go off your ketogenic diet with a one-off meal that’s high in carbohydrates, then you’ll get a big glucose response because your body has become accustomed to running on ketones rather than glucose.
The outsized glucose response will lead to a bigger insulin response. The stored-up insulin in beta cells will be released, causing an insulin surge that can drive fat storage.
While keto works for some people, you don’t have to go full keto to eat a metabolically healthy diet. Just avoid added sugars and refined carbs, and focus on whole foods over processed.
