New Report Ranks ‘Keto’ Last On List Of “Best Diets'
Keto has been ranked last in the 2018 list of best diets by the US News and World Report, along with the relatively unknown Dukan diet.
Keto stresses eating a ton of protein and minimal carbs, putting the dieter into "ketosis," when the body breaks down both ingested and stored body fat into ketones, which it uses as energy. People on such diets often deal with fatigue and light-headedness as they adjust to a lack of carbohydrates.
Though the experts on the US News and World Report panel that created the list said eating that way isn't harmful short-term, they ranked the diets poorly on long-term weight loss success, ease of use and overall impact on health.
