The only dietary recommendation for surrogate moms with polycystic treatment that made it into the guidelines, but I urge you to make sure you don’t try it lightly!

　
　
　　Yes, the ketogenic diet is the only dietary treatment written into the polycystic intervention, and this consensus just came out with the latest revision in June this year, having previously come out with the 2018 and 2022 editions.　
　　So what exactly is the ketogenic diet, many sisters may have heard of it, but the understanding is not comprehensive; is the ketogenic diet really suitable for polycystic sisters? I think it’s definitely appropriate, and the guidelines have been out for many editions.
　　But is it really suitable for everyone? Can the ketogenic diet be done at home? Why is it such a good dietary intervention that I would advise you not to try it so easily?
　　01 Unraveling the Mysteries of the Ketogenic Diet
　　There are thousands of definitions of a ketogenic diet, but a simple one-sentence summary is that it is a very low-carbohydrate and high-fat dietary pattern.
　　Carbohydrates make up roughly half of our normal dietary pattern, while the traditional ketogenic dietary pattern only makes up 5-7%.
　　It is fat that makes up the bulk of the ketogenic dietary pattern, with the traditional ketogenic diet being 70-75% fat.
　　According to the revised version of the 2022 Ketogenic Diet for Polycystic, the concept of a flexible ketogenic diet is proposed, which calls for an energy intake of 500-800 calories throughout the day, with less than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day, and 15-30 grams of fats a day.
　　Overall the Flexible Ketogenic Diet carbohydrates are more generous than the traditional ketogenic diet with a corresponding reduction in the amount of fat, and the Flexible Ketogenic Diet calls for the fat to be primarily olive oil.
　　Having said what the ketogenic diet is all about, let’s talk about why it is called the ketogenic diet.
　　This is because the body produces ketone bodies during the execution of this eating pattern, hence the name.
　　This dietary pattern is not used for everyday life, it was created to treat illnesses, mainly pediatric epilepsy, and then it was discovered that it can lead to weight loss, which in turn can improve a number of chronic diseases such as diabetes.
　　So, the ketogenic diet was destined from its inception to be a treatment, not the norm, and is not applicable in everyday life, and you are correct in your understanding when you see it as the same thing as taking medication.

02 Principles of Ketogenic Diet Intervention for Polycystic in Surrogate Mothers
　　In our life all the things we eat into our body can produce energy, which is used to maintain the life of the cells, such as skin metabolism, daily breathing, walking, including our egg production, ovulation and so on.
　　Every life activity is dependent on the body’s energy, and some of the things we eat in our body do not turn into energy immediately.
　　Only carbohydrates enter the body immediately into energy, we can think of it as cash, ready to use type.
　　The fats we eat cannot be used directly as body energy, they usually need to be stockpiled for a rainy day, like a bank deposit.
　　When our body is rich in sources of carbohydrates (cash flow), the body does not go directly to the bank to withdraw deposits (fats), only when there is a shortage of cash flow does it go to consume fats, and this is the basic principle of the ketogenic diet.
　　That is, the body in order to replenish energy to consume fat, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss and slimming.
　　In addition to burning fat as described above, because the stimulation of carbohydrates is greatly reduced, glucose stimulation is reduced, the workload of insulin is also much reduced, get enough rest, fat synthesis is much slower.
　　Thus, while burning fat, the rate of fat synthesis is greatly reduced and our body fat percentage drops.
　　Our polycystic surrogate mother, more than eighty percent have obesity problems, including overall obesity and local centripetal obesity, obesity problem solved, plagued by the vast majority of polycystic autonomous ovulation problem can be solved.
　　03 so good why not let try it?
　　Please be sure to pay attention to what I said earlier, ketogenic diet is a kind of treatment, not a common diet, just eat can, you can think of it as a special “medicine”.
　　You can think of it as a special kind of “medicine”. Any medication needs to be used as prescribed, and the ketogenic diet is no exception!
　　In our latest revision of the Ketogenic Diet for Polycystic Intervention 2022, we explicitly tell you that the ketogenic diet needs to be supervised by a specially trained doctor or dietitian.
　　That means it’s not something you can do on your own, nor can any doctor or dietitian guide you, even they need to be specially trained.
　　Not only that, but you will also need regular monitoring of nutritional status, body fat, body fat percentage, muscle mass, blood nutrition levels, and other nutritional indicators during your ketogenic diet treatment.
　　Since the ketogenic diet is a special kind of “medicine”, then it is a medicine that has side effects, and any medicine is “toxic”, and the ketogenic diet is no exception!
　　04 Side effects you must know
　
　　Common mild adverse reactions, including headache, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia and back pain, etc. The ketogenic diet may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and vomiting.
　　Moderate adverse effects, including dyslipidemia, mineral deficiencies, metabolic acidosis, and increased risk of kidney stones.
　　For example, some studies have reported a significant increase in triglyceride levels within 6 months of adopting a ketogenic diet; in addition, hypoproteinemia often occurs and may be caused by a reduction in the associated protein intake.
　　Severe adverse effects, often related to excess ketones in the body, can further cause redox system disruption leading to associated complications, which are particularly common in diabetic surrogate mothers and will significantly increase mortality.
　　The ketogenic diet carries the risk of causing metabolic acidosis, but this is almost never seen in people with normal pancreatic secretion.
　　There may also be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease because of the high fat content of the diet.
　　Most critically, the ketogenic diet may also lead to hypothalamic amenorrhea for our fertility, and with amenorrhea there is even less chance of egg maturation and ovulation, which is a long way from holding a baby!
