Lesson 3 of 8

Educational content

Ways of eating affect people differently, and some — including ketogenic diets and extended fasting — are unsuitable or unsafe for certain people, among them those who are pregnant, managing diabetes, taking medication that affects blood sugar, or with a history of eating disorders. Nothing here is a personalised protocol. Talk to a clinician before making a substantial change.
