Q. How long can someone be on a ketogenic diet?
Hello doctor,
I am 23-year-old and have been on a ketogenic diet for the past three months. I have also lost around eight kgs. How long should I follow the ketogenic diet? My target is to lose 15 kilograms. After reaching the target, if I stop following the diet, will I gain weight again, or will I remain the same? I need your opinion on this?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A person can be on a ketogenic diet for a maximum of three months continuously, not more than that. You need to discontinue it after 90 days and follow a high fiber, low-fat diet as a maintenance diet post ketogenic diet.
Thank you.
