Though the jury is largely still out on the benefits of keto, it's often touted as the answer to everyone's weight loss prayers. But does the keto diet work for everyone? Unfortunately, nutrition experts say no. It can be restrictive, tough to sustain, and downright unhealthy for some people.
Why keto does not work for everyone?
The most common reason for not getting into ketosis is not cutting back enough on carbs. According to a 2019 article on the ketogenic diet, carbohydrates should represent only 5–10% of a person's calorie intake. Specifically, most keto diets require a person to cut down to between 20 and 50 grams of carbs each day.
Does everyone lose weight on keto?
You don't automatically lose weight by being in ketosis all the time. You still need to be in a calorie deficit so your metabolism runs out of dietary fat and starts running on your stored body fat. The good news: ketosis may not make you burn body fat all the time, but it does ramp up your metabolism significantly.
