    Study Notes

    Keto Diet Cons

    • Bone health can be affected due to low bone mass estimation, with higher urinary calcium excretion, especially in young children with low calcium intake.
    • Hyperlipidemia can occur, particularly with LDL-C, and may be associated with weight loss, decreased appetite, and increased risk of liver damage.
    • The keto diet may lead to NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) due to increased hepatic oxidative metabolism and high fat consumption.

    Quality of Life and Adherence

    • Implementing the keto diet can lead to poor quality of life, decreased physical capacity, and low energy supply in some children.
    • Difficulty in adhering to the high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and protein ratios of the classic keto diet is common.
    • Hospital catering services often cannot provide keto diet foods, and parents may reject the diet due to the time, expense, and difficulty of meal preparation and food sourcing.

    Initial Side Effects

    • Keto flu can occur, characterized by dehydration, hypoglycemia, nausea, vomiting, headache, lethargy, dizziness, insomnia, and irritability.
    • Keto flu symptoms usually appear within the first few days of the diet and can last several days.
    • Dehydration can lead to insomnia and may require close monitoring to prevent serious complications.

    Potential Nutrient Deficiencies

    • Keto diets may be deficient in essential nutrients, including linoleic, α-linolenic, and linoleic acids, which are necessary for life.
    • Non-essential fatty acids may be absent, unavailable, or insufficient, leading to short-term symptoms and long-term illnesses.
    • Ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for maintaining overall health.

    Difficulty in Sustaining Long-term Compliance

    • Dropout rates are high due to the difficulty of sustaining the keto diet, particularly related to managing energy, carbohydrate, and electrolyte loss.
    • Identifying future risk and ensuring readiness are critical for successful long-term maintenance of the diet.
    • Counseling, social support, financial assistance, and exogenous ketones may facilitate long-term maintenance of the keto diet.
