If it’s all about calories in vs out, why is Keto so recommended
In: Other
It is not about calories in and out. That’s a gross oversimplification of hundreds of biochemical pathways.
Your body stores carbs and fats to burn for energy. The body is greedy and will do anything, including lowering its metabolism, so it won’t burn precious body fat. That is it’s last resort when facing starvation! So the trick to lose weight (i.e. lose fat) is to get the body to keep burning fat when carbs run out. By eating lots of fat, and little carbs, your body gets into fat burning mode. So you are tricking it into burning body fat without dropping its metabolism by eating mostly fat in your diet.
Sugar is also toxic (in high doses) and in the common USA diet, we are harming ourselves with it. Keto eliminates this problem, which makes you healthier almost immediately by removing this toxicity.
Keto also is a slow burn. Sugar levels in the blood rise and fall like tides, but when burning fat, there is a steady stream of BHB in the blood which gives you consistent energy, which most people describe as increased energy levels.
All the buzz about Keto is warranted. It is the first diet that universally works.
Keto is recommended to make you feel better and actually burn fat.
