The purpose of this is to bring your body into this metabolic state so that it starts burning fat, and obviously the result is weight loss.

As this type of diet showed impressive results, dietitians and other experts came up with various versions of Keto diet to suit different needs, weight loss effects, affordability and lifestyles.
