Weight Watchers’ Profits Plummet as More People Embrace Ketogenic Diet

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

Weight Watchers, one of the world’s largest diet companies, has seen profits dwindle as more people adopt a ketogenic diet; the company’s stock value has dropped by more than 80 percent since its high in July 2018

Evidence suggests nutritional ketosis is a natural way of eating for health and weight management; babies are in ketosis when born, and breast milk is ketogenic

Ketones mimic the life span-extending properties of fasting, which includes improved glucose metabolism, reduced inflammation, clearing out malfunctioning immune cells, and upregulating autophagy and mitophagy in your mitochondria
