Recommendations from nutrition experts

Dr Jean-Michel Lecerf: Head of the nutrition department at the Institut Pasteur de Lille
"Diets that provide more than 40% of energy intake as fat damage the arteries and can cause digestive problems. The ketogenic diet can never be followed long term without harming health."

A gnès Mignonac
Dietician-nutritionist, founder of the table des enfants.com website
"The amount of fat used promotes an unpleasant feeling. The restriction on fruits and vegetables leads to a deprivation of micronutrients, which will be partially found in a food supplement. In total, this diet has too many prohibitions to be followed over the long term."
