Frequently Asked Questions
How does the keto diet help with weight loss?
The keto diet promotes weight loss by shifting the body's primary source of fuel from carbs to fat. This encourages the body to burn stored fat for energy, resulting in weight loss.
What is the 'fat-adapted' state on a keto diet?
Being fat-adapted means your body has fully transitioned to using fat as its primary source of energy. It can take several weeks for this metabolic shift to occur on a keto diet.
Can I have coffee or tea on a keto diet?
Yes, black coffee and unsweetened tea are keto-friendly beverages. Be cautious with added sweeteners or high-carb creamers.
What is the role of ketones in a keto diet?
Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fats for energy in the absence of sufficient carbs. They serve as an alternative fuel source, especially for the brain.
Is it possible to gain weight on a keto diet?
Yes, weight gain can occur on a keto diet if you consistently consume more calories than you burn. Portion control and mindful eating are important even on keto.
