According to an article posted by ABC News, the Keto diet prompts a low carbohydrate, high-fat regimen which can cause serious health issues.
"One of the concerns with Keto is how high in saturated fat it is," Haupt said. "Our experts say the diet can be especially dangerous to people with severe diabetes, kidney disease and heart disease", Angela Haupt, assistant managing editor of health at U.S. News and World Report, told ABC News.
The Whole30 came second to last in the 40 diet plans ranking. The diet strips food groups such as sugar, grains, dairy and legumes from dieters for a full 30 days, according to their website.
"The main thing about (Whole30 and Keto diets) is they're both extreme," Haupt said. "They're both really restrictive, in some cases wiping out entire food groups, and our experts say it's just not necessary and it's not safe or healthy."
