Is a ketogenic diet good for weight loss?

What does “good” mean exactly?

For example - specific diets might be efficient as you lose a lot of weight quickly. Other diets are effective - you leverage and consider your actions to have the highest long-term success rate. Efficient would have a tremendous short-term success rate, whilst effective - will be a great long-term solution.

Let’s Apply these terms and answer the primary question. I’d say that in its raw form, the keto diet is efficient. That said, some websites make it effective, for example - Keto Cycle, but more about that later.

Keto is great for quick weight loss

Now, why is it not effective?

Well, the keto diet goes against the norm. We’re accustomed to having carbohydrates on our plates. Trying to change something that you’ve considered interchangeable for decades is quite tricky.

• You need to search for keto recipes
• You have to deal with the cravings
• You, most probably, will do all that alone

However, I’ve used the terms “raw form” when talking about the keto diet not being effective deliberately.

Yes, keto is challenging to stick to IF you’re doing everything by yourself.

But you don’t have to!

We live in the most technologically advanced age in the history of humankind. Why wouldn’t you use that?

For example, there are certain websites like KetoCycle where you can get a personalized meal plan for a period of your liking, consultations with nutritionists, workout routines, and access to the private community:

Also, one of the most common problems people face when doing keto is a reality check. There’s no way to know how much weight you will lose because it depends on so many factors. I don’t want to repeat myself, but we live in the digital age and there’s a tool for everything:

Final note:

Keto is very efficient in losing weight, but to make it effective - you’d need to either put in some REAL effort or use some tool that’d do the work for you.
