Who Should NOT Follow A Keto Diet?

There are a few cases where the keto diet is not the best or even safest option for people. People who suffer with serious chronic issues and medical conditions who are also taking important prescription medications should proceed with caution and not attempt the keto diet without medical supervision.

It’s true that the keto diet can definitely help with aiding and remedying chronic issues, but especially when medications are involved, this dramatic change in diet can cause some dangerous side-effects or really mess with the way the medication has been influencing your body.

This includes conditions such as gallbladder disease, rare metabolic disorders, pancreatic insufficiencies, kidney stones, etc. Also ladies who are pregnant or are breastfeeding should be careful, as well as anyone who has had bariatric surgery or struggles with anorexia, etc.
