Message: [QUOTE="borninansonia, post: 2738046, member: 184"] For most healthy people, keto diets are excellent short term diets, but usually not for the long term. Cancer patients, yes, long term, but not healthy young people. The way most people make keto diets, they are not micronutrient balanced. Iodine for instance is often lacking. Ask your doctor if you should eat an iodine-deficient diet. I formulate canine ketogenic diets, and to meet minimum mineral requirements for dogs, we often need to add supplements. Dogs require more minerals per kg of body weight than do humans. Keep in mind that keto diets are not natural. Prey animals are lean. I have the data. It is very difficult to formulate canine keto diets using wild game or natural prey animals. I need modern high fat stuff for these diets. [/QUOTE]
