    Keto causes greater water loss vs calorie counting on a healthy diet, so it’s not surprising you lost more “weight” per day. It’s a terrible way to lose weight, though.

    This video explains it (all sources to studies are listed, too).

        Sarcasm aside, the science shows that Keto simply isn’t good for fat weight loss and that most weight lost isn’t fat, especially at the beginning.

        Yes, you still do lose some fat, but not as much as an actual healthy diet would with some form of calorie restriction.

        In the link I posted, there’s a study showing that Keto actually slows down fat loss because it messes with the body so much.

        No reason to go on an extreme diet when there are safe, healthy, and far more effective strategies to consider.

            I looked at of the cited sources that showed “strong evidence”. One had a conflict of interest with the author and the other stated “Our findings suggest that the beneficial changes of LC diets must be weighed against the possible detrimental effects of increased LDL-cholesterol.” 😂

            There are safer diets out there for weight loss AND overall health!
