IS THE KETOGENIC DIET A FAD OR COULD IT HELP CONTROL DIABETES?

 Discovering a diet that feeds our body's needs and keeps us healthy without sacrificing taste is a daunting task for anyone. Add diabetes to the equation and this task can suddenly seem like an insurmountable hurdle that can only be overcome by the most health-conscious fitness guru. Some diets are clearly fads that appear seemingly overnight, selling books and recipes and often food, only to disappear at twilight and be overtaken the next day by another set of guidelines by which we must convert, from optimistically, in the best person we can be.

A normal amount of meat is sufficient.   Be aware that processed meats such as hot dogs, cold cuts, and meatballs often contain added carbohydrates. When in doubt, look at the ingredients, try that the carbohydrates are less than 5%.
