Read More »The purpose of a truly ketogenic diet is to become Keto-adapted: to switch the body to using fat for fuel and the brain to using ketones instead of glycogen. For that to happen you need to be in constant ketosis. Keto-adaptation helps tremendously with numerous medical issues such as diabetes, auto-immune diseases, insulin resistance etc and yes, in the process you will lose weight. You can however also lose weight, and be healthy, without being in ketosis. By simply eating the nutritious and filling foods everyone eats on a Keto lifestyle (and leaving out ALL processed, sugary, starchy and inflammatory foods) you will end up feeling satiated and this, in turn, helps to lose weight. So I would argue healthy people, especially without underlying medical issues, can try a more low-carb or Paleo approach at first if they are hesitant to start keto. Depending on the amount of healthy carbs they eat they may or may not see a difference in insulin spikes which will eventually also determine their weight loss. If the results are not good enough a cross-over towards keto will then just be an easier one. The best thing to remember is to not punish yourself when you have a keto cheat day. Don't feel disappointed with yourself or like you failed. All is not lost! Just get your sh*t together the next day, eat your favorite Keto meals and you'll start feeling the benefits of ketosis again very soon.
