The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It's promoted by celebrity doctors and social media influencers for its supposed weight loss benefits. But the keto diet can come with a variety of side effects, including dehydration, constipation, and bad breath.
The keto diet is one of the most popular diets at the moment. It's promoted as a way to lose weight fast, but it also has other possible health benefits.
Ketosis occurs when your body doesn't have enough glucose (sugar) for energy, so it burns fat instead. In order to enter ketosis, you need to significantly reduce your daily carb intake.
When you first start the keto diet, you may experience rapid weight loss due to water loss from reducing your daily carb intake. The average person can expect to lose 1-2 kg/week following a strict keto diet but that should be around the maximum amount. If you're losing more than 2 pounds/week, it's likely that most of this weight is water weight and not fat loss as your body adjusts to being in ketosis.
