Dirty Keto: what is this diet all about?
The Dirty keto diet, or “dirty” version of the ketogenic diet, is opposed to the original version of this diet. Indeed, during a ketogenic diet, the emphasis is on the quality of the foods consumed as well as their origin. We favor homemade and the least processed foods possible.
In this “dirty” version, we keep the reduction in carbohydrates and as many lipids as possible, but it is not necessary to pay attention to the origin or even the quality of the food consumed. Either way, it is quite possible to turn to ready-made meals, for example.
What are the dangers of Dirty Keto?
If this method is clearly aimed at the laziest who do not want to cook or who do not like it, it is not necessarily to be favored compared to the real ketogenic diet. With the “dirty” keto, it is possible to eat exclusively fast food if you wish, as long as you respect the main rule of the ketogenic diet. That is to say: 70 to 80% fat, 15 to 20% protein, 5 to 10% carbohydrates during a day.
Except that this diet is absolutely not recommended. Even if you manage to achieve ketosis through this diet, the health consequences could be disastrous. Indeed, you risk developing significant deficiencies due to the lack of nutrients important to the proper functioning of the body.
In addition, ready meals contain too many additives, thickeners, emulsifiers and simply too much salt. So many substances that could cause simple water retention to high blood pressure with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
