Ketogenic Diets Can Help You Lose Weight
A ketogenic diet is an effective way to lose weight and lower risk factors for disease (8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ).
In fact, research shows that the ketogenic diet is far superior to the often recommended low-fat diet (2 , 14 , 15 , 16 ).
What's more, the diet is so filling that you can lose weight without counting calories or tracking your food intake (16 ).
One study found that people on a ketogenic diet lost 2.2 times more weight than those on a calorie-restricted low-fat diet. Triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels also improved (17 ).
Another study found that people on the ketogenic diet lost 3 times more weight than those on the diet recommended by Diabetes UK (18 ).
There are several reasons why a ketogenic diet is superior to a low-fat diet, including the increased protein intake, which provides numerous benefits (14 , 19 , 20 ).
The increased ketones, lower blood sugar levels and improved insulin sensitivity may also play a key role (21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26
).
