A lot of people are trying to lose weight using the Keto diet. It\u2019s a hard diet to stick to and some people may want to know if the whole effort is worth the results.<\/p>\n
Several studies show those on the Keto diet lose more weight in the short-term. The diet does suppress
\nappetite and can increase your metabolism to burn more calories.<\/p>\n
However, the truth is that it doesn\u2019t work any better than other diets for long-term weight loss.<\/p>\n
This diet incorporates food that limits carbohydrates and gets your body using ketones rather than insulin.<\/p>\n
Ketones are produced by the liver from fat causing you to be less hungry. Insulin moves blood sugar to be stored as fat, which leaves you hungry.<\/p>\n
A 2013 review of several previous long-term studies of keto dieters showed that they only lost approximately two pounds over low-fat dieters. That amounted to \u201cof little clinical significance,\u201d according to the review authors.<\/p>\n
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) did a highly-monitored comparison study between keto and low-fat dieters. At the end of it, the low-fat
\ndieters lost about a pound more.<\/p>\n
The keto dieters lost more mass, but researchers determined that was water weight.<\/p>\n
One of the complaints of the Keto diet is that it\u2019s hard to comply with over time. It is one of the stricter diets out there.<\/p>\n
However, people who do it like the idea that it connects them with different types of foods, like Mediterranean, something different than what they are used to.<\/p>\n
Dieting, no matter which one you choose, has the same principle of burning more calories than you take in. That is the only way a diet will work. Keto does that too but using a different method.<\/p>\n
Keto is a good diet in the sense it is healthy and not an unsafe, crash, miracle-driven diet.<\/p>\n
Whether it will work for you in weight loss depends on your overall health, the exercise you do, and your
\ntenacity to stick with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
