Low Carb Ketogenic Effects Low Carbohydrate Article First, if you are not aware, the Ketogenic Diet is similar to a low carbohydrate diet. The difference is that it is even more restrictive in carbohydrates and calories. Even in the most restrictive and least balanced of low-calorie diets, the Ketogenic Diet, there are no serious negative effects documented. Studies described in peer-reviewed medical journals reported the following:

• The Ketogenic diet did not impair aerobic-exercise capacity.
• The Ketogenic diet did not decrease performance on attention tasks.
• The Ketogenic diet did not significantly change brain metabolism.

It is important to note however, there is not enough specific data to support or not to support the diet.

Long-term effects have yet to be firmly established, therefore there is little data to confirm or negate rumors and opinions of experts on both sides of the fence.

An interesting tidbit regarding the Ketogenic Diet:
This is a diet practiced as a conventional medical program in at least 35 states in the United States as well as ten countries worldwide.
