In ketosis mode do you burn calories quicker or more calories then you do when not in ketosis

I know you have to say under your caloric intake to lose weight. I just didn’t know if you burn weight faster if you gave up or had a very low carb intake0

Nope - initial weight loss is higher than simple calorie counting from water loss, but the long term results (amount of weight lost) are comparable to any other form of calorie restriction.7

I’m not restricting myself from my calories and I know carbs equal 4 calories per gram as protein is to and fat is 9. But does your body break down fat faster since there’s less carbs going into the body0

Peter Attia is an excellent resource for Keto, and an MD. His site is PeterAttiaMD.com. His podcast is excellent, too.5
