<> The Ketotarian Diet is a loosely vegetarian version of the popular Ketogenic Diet. It promises to help you burn fat and promote weight loss. Because it emphasizes eating only low-fructose fruits and vegetables, plant-based fats, and restricts most animal protein except for eggs, fish, shellfish, and ghee, you may miss out on essential nutrients. The diet was popularized by Will Cole, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner @drwillcole but little research has been done on the Ketotarian Diet specifically. There are studies which suggest that the Ketogenic Diet, which has been used for over 100 years to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders and may also prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease. The Ketogenic Diet is highly anti-inflammatory and may aid inflammatory diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart diseases. The biggest downside of the Ketotarian diet is that it can be restrictive and difficult to follow. To do it correctly, it requires extensive planning, and your options for dining out are severely limited. Eating a whole food plant-based diet, rich in unprocessed fruits and vegetables, with plant-based protein and healthy fats can meet all your nutrient needs. 🌱If you are interested in trying out a whole food plant-based diet, download my FREE -7-day meal plan as a start and 🌱Follow @bhealthyeatwhole for whole-food plant-based recipes, and holistic wellness. 🌱DM me for personalized meal plans, allergy friendly and tailored to your health requirements Check out the case studies at the bottom. *Disclaimer – this is not medical advice https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25101284/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30549014/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28141738/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28432635/
