Should You Go on a Low Carb Keto Diet Plus Intermittent Fasting?

According to Dr. Berg, "You wanna combine the low carb ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. This is a one-two punch. Just by doing intermittent fasting, you're gonna lower insulin. But if you add the low carb with it, you are gonna be very, very successful. Plus going a low carb is gonna allow you to transition into fat burning a lot quicker versus just doing intermittent fasting by itself. And the way that you know you're in fat burning is you have no more appetite," he claims.

RDN Says: "Ketogenic diets should not be followed long term. Your body needs carbohydrates, specifically from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, for overall health, especially digestive health and disease prevention. Intermittent fasting is also not a guarantee of weight loss and often people see plateau and weight gain after a period of time doing intermittent fasting."
