Halle Berry health: Star had to totally ‘re-spin’ lifestyle due to diabetes diagnosis

In simple terms, the keto diet is a low-carb diet with the idea that individuals get more calories from protein and fats rather than carbohydrates. Berry went on to claim that the diet offers benefits such as weight loss but also gives her more energy and better mental performance.

In reference to keto, Berry encouraged her seven million followers to not think of it as a diet, but more of a lifestyle change. However, despite the star’s high praise for the specific lifestyle, the keto diet has come under scrutiny in the past.

In 2019, Journalist Stephanie Nuzzo followed Berry’s keto diet for a week and revealed that she felt nauseated for the first two days while also experiencing headaches and fatigue. Writing a story concerning her findings she said: “Using a combination of Berry’s Instagram account and interviews with her trainer, I formed an idea of the actress’ food plan and ran with it.”

“I drank coffee in the morning with a teaspoon of MCT oil and unsweetened almond milk. My meals were usually made with eggs or a meat protein along with vegetables, avocado and cheese. Occasionally I used tofu noodles or shredded zucchini instead of grains. The tofu wasn’t bad, but zucchini is not even a close substitute for pasta.”
