Is Ketogenic Diet Good Or Bad For Your Skin?

The keto diet, also called the low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that purports to aid in weight loss, treat epilepsy in children, control blood sugar levels, reduce total cholesterol and even fight acne. People who commit to the keto diet find their skin eventually appears more youthful and vibrant.

  • Focus On A “Clean” Keto Diet: There are plenty of keto-approved foods that are nourishing for your skin. It includes low-carb vegetables, salmon and other fish, nuts and seeds, eggs, olive oil, coconut oil, and avocados.
  • Eat Enough Non-Starchy Vegetables: Many of the antioxidants and nutrients that are most important for your skin are found in plant foods, which provide carbohydrates, whether a lot or a little.
  • Drink Plenty Of Water: To counteract the fact that you’ll be losing more water while in ketosis, drink up! It’s okay to have some black coffee and tea while in ketosis too.
  • Consume Probiotic Foods: It helps to prevent a wide scope of immunity-related problems including those like eczema and dermatitis that affect the skin, due to their anti-inflammatory effects.

Whatever lifestyle you prescribe to, diet can have a big impact on skin. Eating whole foods, eating less sugar, and finding the right routine for your skin can all help improve your skin.

    My husband and I have recently started a Keto diet, so when I saw your article I got excited. I was looking to lose weight, and if this can help my skin, that is double good.
