Ketogenic Nutrition Outperforms Mediterranean and Low-Fat Plant Diets
I recently sat down with Max Peterson of Washington University to discuss his new randomized clinical trial in Cell Metabolism. They compared ketogenic, Mediterranean, and low-fat plant-forward diets, controlling weight loss to about 10%. Spoiler: they did not get the same metabolic results. There was a clear winner:
🥩 Ketogenic nutrition
• 50% prediabetes reversal
• 67% reduction in liver fat
• 74% reduction in 24-hour insulin exposure
• 20% reduction in 24-hour glucose exposure
For comparison, prediabetes reversal occurred in 29% of the Mediterranean group and just 7% of the low-fat plant-forward group. Weight loss matters, but what you eat matters too.
I break down the study, the differences between the three diets, and what these findings mean in our latest blog post.

Integrating Michael Pollan's Insights with Lower Carb and Ketogenic Diets
In this blog post, we explore Michael Pollan's insights into health, emphasizing the importance of whole, unprocessed foods, traditional diets, and a healthy relationship with food. Pollan advocates for a nartural and diverse diet that includes plenty of vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. We discuss integrating his insights with the benefits of the Lower Carb Whole Food approach and the Well Formulated Ketogenic Diet for many health concerns: having a healthy weight, addressing diabetes, reducing inflammation, and improving cardiac health.
