WTF Diet

If you choose to fuel with fat, you need to choose good fats and keep them clean. A high fat diet needs to be in conjunction with limiting your carb intake. By reducing your carbs, your body will enter a state of ketosis. Ketones are the preferred fuel of your mitochondria, the part of cells that provide you with energy.

Not all cholesterol is created equal. Eating good fats may give your HDL cholesterol a nudge, but this is not a bad thing.

HDL helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream, transporting it to the liver where it can be processed and eliminated from the body. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of heart disease

Severely restricting calories can lead to a decrease in metabolism. Studies show that low-calorie diets may reduce the number of calories the body burns by up to 23%. Even after stopping the diet, this lower metabolism can persist, contributing to weight regain1.

Low-fat diets may not be as satiating, potentially leading to overconsumption of carbohydrates. Emerging evidence also suggests a negative impact on mental health4.

Research indicates that eating fewer calories can lead to hormonal changes that stimulate appetite. This can counteract the intended weight loss effects1.

Some fad diets cut out entire food groups, which can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients needed for good health1.

Studies have shown that low-fat diets may not be as effective for long-term weight loss and health improvement compared to other dietary approaches. For example, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that low-carb diets, which are higher in fat and protein, resulted in more significant weight loss and better improvements in certain health markers compared to low-fat diets

Fad diets can be harmful to your health, and there is no research proving they are safe in the long term3.
