Overview
Low-carb diets have become increasing popular in recent years largely among people trying to lose weight or in those who want to improve cognitive performance. In 2020, “keto” was the most Googled food-related topic in the world with 25.4 million searches. The ketogenic diet, or keto for short, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that typically contains 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs allowing the body to transition from energy dependence on carbohydrates to fats by breaking down fatty molecules into chemical compounds called ketones. Unfortunately, there can be some downsides of the diet especially when transitioning from a diet high in carbohydrates. Particularly, large amount of dietary fats can slow down the emptying of the stomach, delaying digestion of the food mass leading to bloating, stomach distress and in some cases contributing to heartburn and acid reflux. To allow a rapid emptying of the stomach, a specific enzyme called lipase is needed. Lipase is the only enzyme that can break down triglyceride fats into short-chain fatty acids.
