Nutrition Facts
The ketogenic diet recommends consuming 75% of calories from fat, 20% from protein and 5% from carbohydrates. A healthy, balanced diet as recommended by the American Cancer Society for cancer prevention and cancer survivors is 25 to 30% fat, 10% to 15% protein and 55% to 60% carbohydrates.
The ketogenic diet was originally designed for patients with epilepsy. It is now being promoted as a possible complementary therapy to be used in combination with cancer treatments. We do not know whether this diet is helpful for cancer, although some small research studies are underway.
Low-carbohydrate diets, such as the ketogenic diet, lower insulin levels and prevent fat storage. As a result, these diets can cause weight loss, which may not be desirable during cancer treatment.
The ketogenic diet cuts out or severely limits healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and beans and lentils, because they contain carbohydrates. All of these foods are recommended for cancer prevention and survivorship, heart health and a healthy weight. It is especially important to follow a nutritious diet during cancer treatment, but this diet is deficient in many nutrients such as fibre, calcium, vitamin D, potassium and vitamin C.
Side effects can make it difficult to eat well during treatment, so strict diets are not usually recommended. This diet can worsen appetite and constipation, side effects that are often already present during cancer treatment. This can lead to not eating well and not getting the nutrients needed to maintain your strength.
The diet has not been shown to be helpful for people dealing with cancer and may be harmful. Talk to your doctor or dietitian before starting a new diet.
