The long and short of keto

alias1001

Fantastic article on the history and science of keto and who it can especially help. I don't do keto, but I'm on a carb-restricted diet (mostly) with my husband. He's losing and I'm in maintenance.

Short of it is:

"Which brings us back to Lopez and the question: Does keto work for weight loss?...In the short term, yes. 'But the weight-loss effects are primarily driven by the suppression of appetite, which in turn regulates calorie intake,' says D’Agostino. In other words: When you limit what you eat, you . . . limit what you eat. Weight-loss diets usually come down to eating less."
