I’m not a newbie… I did Atkins for about a year (20 years ago) and have been doing keto for 10 days now and it’s all coming back to me… like riding a bike. But the one thing I STILL am not sure about (yes, I’ve done lots of reading and see conflicting info) is WHY does keto work so well for weight loss? Is it:
Because there is a science and process that is enabling us to take the weight off faster and more efficiently due to the ketones and change in metabolism? Or…
Is it because the foods we are eating now keep us fuller longer and we basically just eat less than we used to?
I know when I gather with 20 family members on Thanksgiving and they see me passing on the carby stuff they are going to attack my “stupid way of eating” and I would love to have some educated, short responses for how and why this works so well. Since I will have only been ding it for about 2 weeks I won’t have incredible weight loss to shove in their faces (yet).
Thanks in advance.
Sue
