The ketogenic diet to lose weight may be at risk of vascular damage.

Original title: Ketogenic diet weight loss may be at risk of vascular damage
Ketogenic diet promotes a high-fat, low-carbon water, moderate protein diet structure, by some weight loss people. However, a new study recently published in the international journal Nutrients found that a return to normal carbohydrate intake immediately after a short ketogenic diet can easily lead to vascular damage.
researchers targeted nine healthy young men who drank drinks containing 75 grams of glucose after a seven-day ketogenic diet. Their ketogenic diet is 70 percent fat, 10 percent carbohydrate and 20 percent protein, in line with the current popular ketogenic diet.
results showed that some biomarkers appeared in the bodies of these people, suggesting damage to the walls of blood vessels. The researchers believe that the main cause of this damage is that the short-term ketogenic diet damages the body's sugar stability, and the rapid rise in blood sugar after the resumption of carbohydrate intake triggers a metabolic reaction that causes blood vessel cells to fall off.
Jonathan Little, co-author of the study and an associate professor at the University of British Columbia O'Canogan in Canada, said that for people at high risk of cardiovascular disease, a ketogenic diet can have an adverse effect on blood vessels once blood sugar surges.
researchers say they need more research to validate the findings in the future because the participants are all men and the number of people involved is small.
that a ketogenic diet can put the body into a "ketosis" state, using body fat rather than glucose as a source of energy. But some experts believe there are health risks of sticking to this diet for a long time.
