Not to hijack, but is it universal around here that zero carb/keto improves blood work?
The typical Western diet is quite high in saturated and trans fats and refined sugars, with fibre and micronutrients in low amounts, and alcohol on top of that.
If a person changes from that to some sort of diet using mostly fresh ingredients, then most people are going to feel better, and the various things doctors use to measure feeling better - blood pressure, cholesterol levels and so on - are probably going to improve, too.
It's much the same as how if a person has been totally sedentary, whether they start walking, running, swimming, cycling or doing kettlebell swings - their resting heart rate will drop, their blood pressure will improve, which are measures of improved cardiovascular fitness.
If a person was previously sedentary and eating a typical Western diet, then any activity, and any food prepared from fresh ingredients, is going to improve their health. This fact lies behind the success and popularity of so many otherwise wacky and odd exercise and diet programmes, like 10,000 swings or keto.
It all works - for a while. The question is what's optimal. And this is my issue with most diet and exercise programmes: sounds great! Now, can you do this for the next ten years?
