Keto for Beginners: How It Works and How to Start
Keto gets explained in two unhelpful ways: either as a miracle that melts fat while you sleep, or as a joyless slab of bacon and butter. Neither is right. When I first looked into it, most of what I found sat at one of those two extremes, and neither matched living it. The ketogenic diet is a fairly simple metabolic idea with some real evidence behind it and a few genuine catches, and once you understand the mechanism the rest of it stops feeling like a list of arbitrary rules.
