Mayo Clinic Minute: Why the keto diet is more hype than help for most people
healthy diets January 6th. 2020, 5:03amMost of us could stand to drop a few pounds, but it’s always harder to get the weight off than we expect.
So when you hear about people losing a ton of weight in a short period of time on the latest low-carb diet craze, the keto diet, it sounds like the magic formula.
But Dr. Donald Hensrud, author of The Mayo Clinic Diet Book, says the keto diet isn’t new, and it’s not the magic formula people think it is.

Oh, you mean like EVERY diet? Of course it's hard or everyone would be thin. What an idiot!! Do you really think this is helping anyone? The Mayo Clinic Diet saved my life… Said no one,ever.

This is another example of the utter ignorance of the medical community. Dr's aren't that intelligent folks, they are no wiser than the ages. Dr's used to kill patients by not washing their hands, now they are killing them with bad dietary advice. The keto diet works because you make far less insulin. Insulin is a fat storage hormone. As long as you're eating carbs and spiking your insulin, fat goes in and you will not lose weight. Mayo Clinic, you are a disgrace on this issue.

“Keto isn’t new” — so?? Doesn’t mean people have been doing it

I like how the sheep are bashing this video. Can't you morons for a SECOND think for yourself instead of handing your power to someone else- some internet vlog gurus? Jeezus. This video didn't say anything "negative" per se, but boy it struck the chord and nerve the wrong way to some people.

Nonsense

The Mayo Clinic has never been about true health care. It’s always been about vague information and telling people they can’t be healthy without pharmaceuticals and “modern medicine.” That’s not patient centric. That’s doctor and Big Pharma centric.

Really, this is what the famous Mayo clinic had to say??
I was expecting oh my g-d this and that will happen to your body.
This is something that is said when you don't have an argument. Thanks for re-confirming that I'm following something that has helped my body lose 34 lbs. I'm even at the point that I want to gain weight!
Thanks Mayo clinic.

Keto is vegetables low carb diet.

Eating like the caveman ate is low carb, and Keto is like the Atkins diet, the caveman diet with more healthy choices. When you have metabolic resistance Keto, low carb is huge in helping you lose weight and feel good! Getting fat is easy for myself and low carb/ Keto/ caveman diets have helped me lose weight. Low-fat diets have actually given me low blood sugar and made me light-headed. I have to stay away from carbs, fructose and eat protein, fats and drink tons of water to be healthy. This might not work for you, but its what I need to do today for my health.

That's it? He just started why most "diets" fail and then dipped….

It’s NOT new. It’s just EFFECTIVE. I’m an American MD and reversed my diabetes completely on a keto diet. No more meds!!!

I miss NOTHING being on Keto! I eat cheesecake, brownies, pizza, fried chicken, pecan pie and on and on!!!! The only difference is I have found a DELICIOUS way to replace the high carbs and processed sugar! NO ONE notices my foods taste any different! IF we are not sick, Mayo makes no money!!!

Obesity and inflammation are ultimately a lot harder …on everything.

What a garbage video. "It is hard."
It actually isn't hard at all. Keto foods are delicious, filling, and nutritious.

Reduced inflammation
Most of the processed foods we eat are inflammatory because of the additives, chemicals and sugar that is present. Inflammation leads to a myriad of health problems such as joint pain, weight gain, muscle loss, risk of cardiovascular disease and so on.
When youíre on the keto diet, youíll be severely restricting your intake of processed foods and carbs. This will reduce the inflammation in your body.
