Keto is NOT one-size-fits-all. In fact... if not done right, keto can actually be bad for you!
Basically, the food you eat is fuel for your body. If you put the wrong kind of fuel in it will run slowly and sluggishly... It might even break down! Without the right foods you may start to feel tired, lazy, or even sick.
The idea behind keto is simple... "Consume the majority of your calories from healthy fats with moderate amounts of protein and minimal carbohydrates." In other words, when you cut out carbs your body starts to burn more fat for energy.
For decades, nutritionists have studied people's diets and found they were getting the majority of their energy from carbs. The truth is, they can be a great source of energy... but, there's a major downside you probably didn't know about... carbs can turn into unwanted pounds!
By changing the way you eat, you can put your body into a state of 'ketosis' - a metabolic change that helps your body use fat for energy instead of carbs. In 'ketosis', your body will begin to use fat for energy instead of carbs. You're still getting all of the energy you need, plus, your body is constantly burning fat!
Everyone's body is different... You need to eat the right macros based on your own body-type if you want to see results.
Hint: Keto doesn't come in a bottle or a book!
