How does the Keto diet work for weight loss?
When in ketosis, the body begins to burn stored fats for energy, and this results in the build-up of acids, known as ketones, in your blood. A person following the keto diet aims to burn unwanted fat by actually pushing the body to rely on fat, not carbohydrates, for energy.
How does a high Fat Diet make you lose weight?
A low-carb, high-fat diet (LCHF) involves using ketones from fat for energy instead of glucose, which comes directly from carbohydrates. When a person significantly reduces or limits the number of carbs they consume in a day, it forces the body to use fat stores as fuel, which may lead to weight loss.
Why do you lose weight so fast on Keto?
When you restrict carbs on keto, your body rapidly burns through glycogen, the stored carbs in your liver and muscles. After your glycogen stores are depleted, you shift to burning fat. Many people notice dramatic weight loss during this transition.

What a high fat diet looks like?
Not too complicated: A high fat way of eating means that you consume most of your calories from healthy fats. In other words, you consume a high amount of fat. This is in contrast to the modern western diet in which you consume a high amount of carbohydrates and very little fat.
How many fat should I eat a day to lose weight?
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, fats should make up 20-35% of our total daily calorie intake. For those attempting to lose body fat, 0.5-1g/kg of fat should be consumed per day to avoid essential fatty acid deficiency. For someone who weighs 150lbs (68kg), this would equate to 34-68g fat per day.
