Abstract

The low-carbohydrate diets were recently used to treat various illnesses. The low-carbohydrate diets have emerged as a substitute for medicines. Weight reduction and its maintenance are the key targets to dietary modulations. Meal replacements can be beneficial in improving the efficacy of dietary modulations. The nutrient-enriched diet needs to be used for the long term to show promising health outcomes. Additionally, dietary interventions have been used in various illnesses such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, kidney health, neurological disorders, as well as acne. Thus, it becomes mandatory to remove conventional medications from dietary habits and add nutrient-enriched foods to avoid the harmful side effects of conventional therapies. Dietary modification becomes the need of the hour for healthy well-being. Additionally, the keto diets suffer various challenges such as causing various human illnesses, disregulated eatings, and social isolation. This review highlights the role of ketogenic diets as therapeutics for various human disorders.

Conclusion

The low-carbohydrate diets are considered key tools to reduce weight. They are far more beneficial than low-fat diets but various concerns arise regarding the safety of ketogenic diets. The ketogenic diets are significant in providing therapeutic efficacy during various human disorders such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, acne, diabetes, PCOS, and neural pathologies. They are a key factor in the reduction of body weight and their long-term exposure can even reduce the risk of weight regain. The low-carbohydrate diet reduces blood glucose and helps in reducing the risk of diabetes.
