Health Benefits of Low-Carb and Ketogenic Diets

Hayan Orfaly, MD • October 15, 2019

Read on the learn about the broad range of health benefits offered by low-carb and Keto diets.

Today I would like to tell you a little bit about the keto diet, and then I would like to share with you the good news about our office, which is willing to help patients lose weight and keep good health....

Let’s start by reviewing some Health Benefits of Low-Carb and Ketogenic Diets:

1. Low-Carb Diets Reduce Your Appetite.

2. Low-Carb Diets Lead to More Weight Loss.

3. A Greater Proportion of Fat Loss Comes From Your Abdominal Cavity.

4. Triglycerides Tend to Drop Drastically.

6. Reduced Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels.

7. May Lower Blood Pressure.

8. Effective Against Metabolic Syndrome

    Metabolic syndrome is a condition highly associated with your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
    In fact, metabolic syndrome is a collection of symptoms, which include:
  • Abdominal obesity
  • Elevated blood pressure
  • Elevated fasting blood sugar levels
  • High triglycerides
  • Low “good” HDL cholesterol levels
    However, a low-carb diet is incredibly effective in treating all five of these symptoms.

9. Improved 'Bad' LDL Cholesterol Levels.

10. Therapeutic for several Brain Disorders:
  • Seizures
  • Alzheimer's
  • Parkinson's disease
11. Reduces acne.

12. May help reduce risk of cancer.

13. Improves health in women with PCOS.

Because of these benefits and some more I elected to adopt this diet to help my patients join this life style in order to hopefully help them feel great and help to shorten their list of medications...

Also, I would like to tell you that I won’t hesitate to help medically (using medications) in the right setting especially if the BMI > 30 to accelerate the process..

Did you know that many insurances COVER the medications for weight loss?  Did you know that there are medications for weight loss that are very affordable for self-pay patients? The Ketogenic Diet, especially if it’s combined with the appropriate Prescribed Weight Loss Medications, can do wonderful results to your body, in addition of course to the drastic weight loss you will achieve in a very short time (average 40 lbs in 6 weeks!!).

To get rid of your Diabetes , HTN, Obesity, and too many other diseases including some cancers and connective tissue diseases, don’t hesitate to contact my office, get an appointment, and let’s discuss wether you meet the criteria or not to start the most enjoyable experience you ever had to lose weight.

As I promised you before, Boadway Elite Medical does not believe in band-aid medicine. I would like to announce today that we are now linked with a unique laboratory, that is well known nationwide and even worldwide. This laboratory specializes in bridging science and precision patient care. In order for me to simplify this and make it comprehensible to you dear patients, I am going to give you this common example: Let’s suppose Mr. X is a 50-year-old ordinary man, who has no complaints or any past medical history, except for some vague symptoms like fatigue and probably lack of energy at times in which he attributes to his daily life activities, age, etc., In general Mr. X consider himself as well as his family to be completely normal. Mr. X wakes up today with severe chest pain and shortness of breath. His family rushes him to the emergency room and he is found to have had an acute heart attack. Mr. X is seen by the cardiologist, he gets a cardiac catheterization, and he is found to have severe coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease means that all of his heart vessels are clogged up. He now requires immediate triple bypass surgery. Mr. X, unfortunately, goes through a lot of suffering during and after his surgery and he is left with serious sequels with massive residual health problems all related to his heart disease. Now his entire lifestyle has to be changed, although “a day before all this to happen” he was mowing his yard, and simply was feeling great not only normal!! After this common scenario my dear patients, my question to you is “was this preventable?”, And my short answer to this is yes because nowadays we could have screened this patient prior to this horrible outcome with a simple blood test that would predict this catastrophe before it happens. Hence, do what is necessary to prevent this in an early stage. This type of care is called “precision medicine” or “precision patient care”. I'd like to announce to you my dear patients, that we offer these types of testing. This testing is not only for heart disease but also tens and even hundreds of other diseases that could be predicted years before it happens and cause irreversible damages and serious disability, to the patient and his family. Wait!! I am not through yet...the good news is most of these tests are covered under insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. So dear patients don’t hesitate to get in touch with our office today, to discuss if you need such testing to be done. It is a simple blood drawn test that will predict problems which can be prevented way long before they occur..... all in a very simple way thanks to Precision Patient Care and Biosciences.
