Recently, there has been a trend of low-sugar ketogenic weight loss in China, resulting in the prevalence of bulletproof coffee, which is a food with "no sugar (starch, granulated sugar and other added sugar) and contains a lot of fat". As a result, a 50-year-old wife lost 7 or 8 kilograms in six months, and a 60-year-old husband lost more than 10 kilograms in nine months. However, both of them were admitted to the hospital after a stroke. Fortunately, their condition returned to stability after being injected with thrombolytic agents. Many dietitians and doctors in China have warned that this diet is not suitable for everyone and that eating too much for a long time may impose a serious burden on the body.

The so-called ketogenic diet is that the intake of oil accounts for more than 70% of the total calories, which allows people to remove a large amount of water and accelerate fat metabolism, but coconut oil is also rich in saturated fat, which may cause vascular embolism when taken for a long time. Common side effects include elevated blood lipids, constipation, diarrhea, kidney stones, retinopathy and so on, which will be safer under the guidance of doctors and dietitians. Nutrition expert Liu Chunjun says that many patients with vascular blockages caused by eating "bulletproof coffee" have been treated. They think their bodies have become slim and healthy, but they do not realize that the blood vessels in their bodies are overwhelmed.

Although a ketogenic diet can burn fat and seem to lose weight significantly in the short term, it is actually an illusion accompanied by a large amount of dehydration. Ketone body first appears in the blood, followed by urine, once there is a ketogenic phenomenon, you must drink enough water, the ketone body will be excreted through the kidney urine, otherwise it will damage the kidney function, afraid to cause urinary system problems. However, when ketones are excreted from the body, they take away a large amount of water at the same time, causing the cells to dehydrate. Therefore, before pursuing this kind of special dietary strategy, we must think twice about the long-term health benefits of the individual, analyze its potential negative effects, and then decide whether it is worth the risk.
