«Exalted by some as a highly effective means for losing weight, demonized by others for the supposed and often exaggerated risks attributed to it, it is actually a very important dietary approach both in weight loss but also in the treatment and often remission of certain pathologies».
«The premise on which the ketogenic diet is based – explains Dr. Pietro Senette, nutritionist and researcher – is the ability of our body to use lipid reserves with great effectiveness when the availability of carbohydrates is significantly reduced: essentially the ability of our body to function like a bi-fuel car. The physiological mechanisms activated in this situation protect lean mass and significantly reduce the feeling of hunger."
«A well-planned ketogenic diet is fruitful and well tolerated in the vast majority of subjects and represents an exceptional tool in both the metabolic and pathological fields, but be careful who prescribes it: it requires dieticians and nutritionists who are experts in the field».
