Eating too much fat on a low carb/keto diet

For some people, ketogenic and low-carb diets might be quite effective in losing weight. According to studies, they tend to suppress hunger, resulting in a spontaneous reduction in calorie consumption.

Some people mistake the keto diet for a fatty meal, but this isn't the way to lose weight. "Anytime you are taking in more calories than your body needs, you will gain weight. Too much of any food can cause a person to gain weight, and fats are no different", explained Esther Avant, a certified nutrition coach. Fats are the most calorie-dense of the three macronutrient classes. Proteins and carbs both contain four calories per gram, whereas fats have nine calories per gram. This isn't mean that fats are unhealthy for you; it just means that consuming a lot of them might add to your daily calorie consumption. If you’re eating large amounts of fat in your food and are not losing weight, you may need to try reducing your fat intake.
