It's not a might, it absolutely is for some. I'm one of them. I tried keto for close to a year and my blood sugar shot up to being pre-diabetic. Why was that?

It's not a might, it absolutely is for some. I'm one of them. I tried keto for close to a year and my blood sugar shot up to being pre-diabetic. Why was that? Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (MCAD) Deficiency[1]. It produces an enzyme that is involved in breaking down fat from food and stored body fat into energy. Because people lack this energy source, affected individuals must keep their blood sugar levels up by eating regularly to avoid acute episodes of lethargy, seizures and coma. The condition can lead to sudden death unless it is diagnosed and proper dietary interventions are followed. So when you're keto, eating lots of fat and little carbohydrates, which doesn't keep your blood sugar up, you can get into trouble. Is keto unhealthy for everyone? No. Is it healthy for everyone? Definitely not. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-chain_acyl-coenzyme_A_dehydrogenase_deficiency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-chain_acyl-coenzyme_A_d...
