    ++ Keto works because its keeps insulin levels from going high, when insulin is high the body simply cannot metabolize stored fat (at all).

    Doing low calorie works by itself, but its hard mode, eating a bunch of insulin spiking meals throughout the day makes it much harder to burn through that sugar, lower the insulin, and eventually metabolize stored fat.

      Keto also works because the homogeneity of the meals induces many people to eat less.

      If you were literally forced to only eat chicken and broccoli for every single meal, eventually you would become so disgusted you would eat enough to survive, and probably not anymore.

        It’s not just chicken and broccoli, a entire world of food is available!

        you can build real food using all the proteins, all the veggies, and spices!
