Weight loss

Both ketogenic diets and normal low diets are quite efficient for shedding pounds. Numerous research on weight reduction has demonstrated that following a ketogenic diet will probably result in both short- and long-term weight loss.

Fast weight loss can occur during the first week. Although some people mistakenly think they are losing fat, what is really being lost is water and stored carbs. When you follow a ketogenic diet low in carbs, your body quickly uses up the carbs stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. As soon as your glycogen reserves are gone, you start burning fat. So remember that as long as you follow the diet and maintain a calorie deficit, you should continue to lose body fat gradually after the first quick loss of water weight.
