Before the discovery of insulin, people with diabetes could expect to live several years with what was then a uniformly fatal disease if they adhered to a strict low-carbohydrate diet.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Hallberg said, a low-carb or ketogenic eating plan is sometimes presented incorrectly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my biggest frustrations is when we hear about low-carbohydrate and people are talking about something that is less than 40% [carbohydrates],\u201d she said. \u201cIf [the diet is] somewhere around 40%, it is really a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. A low-carb diet is much lower than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wyContent\">\n<div id=\"view\" class=\"hidden-print\">\n<div id=\"page0\" data-page=\"0\">\n<p>A very low-carbohydrate diet, or ketogenic diet, is defined as less than 50 g per day, or 10% of total daily intake, Hallberg said. A low-carbohydrate diet is daily intake of 51 g to 130 g per day, or less than 25%. Anything above 25% is considered a moderate-carbohydrate diet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Body\"><strong>Keto misconceptions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Contrary to popular misconceptions,\u00a0a ketogenic diet\u00a0is not a high-protein or no-carbohydrate eating plan, Hallberg said. A well-formulated ketogenic diet is defined as a high, whole food fat plan (70% to 80%) that is low in carbohydrates (5% to 10%) with moderate or adequate protein intake (15% to 20%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things we often hear is that this is a no-carb diet, and that is not true,\u201d she said. \u201c[Those who follow a ketogenic plan] eat a lot of leafy greens and a lot of nonstarchy vegetables each day. We insist on five servings of them. When we\u2019re talking about under 50 g total carbohydrate intake a day, you can get a lot of vegetables in for that less than 50 g. What are you not eating? I tell my patients no GPS: No grains, no potatoes and no sugar.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3311,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1104,1058,273,139,835],"class_list":["post-3310","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weight-loss-gain","tag-carbohydrates","tag-diabetes","tag-health","tag-keto-diet","tag-ketogenic-diet"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
