It works.

No one should be doing a ketogenic diet - unless weight loss is more important than their health, according to a leading cardiologist.

Mortality rate
He added: "There's only one slight problem: and that's cardiovascular events. If you look at mortality - I remember pulling out the slide from 2007, that's the first one I saw, large randomized trial, looking at the ketogenic diet and showing that it increased mortality by about 22 percent.
"So I was talking about that and making sure everyone was hearing about that, and then there was one the Journal of the American Heart Association published a few years later that isolated the people who had had a heart attack in the past, the cardiology population that we're seeing, and they were doing a ketogenic diet. It was a 53 percent increase in mortality. No one should be doing this.
"Don't limit yourself to these two trials - take every trial that's ever been published across the world, do a meta-analysis, I think they had 13 or 16 trials in it, and average them all out...and the answer was 31 percent increase in mortality. So it's not something people should do unless your weight loss is more important than your life." END QUOTE
