What makes the keto diet work so well is that, with little glucose from carbohydrates in our bodies, we have to burn something else — fat — for energy. Do it. There's no one right way to eat for everyone, just as there is no miracle diet plan for weight loss.

But after a few days on the keto diet, with its restrictive carb intake, your body cannot produce enough energy and looks for another source — breaking down stored fat to generate energy in a process called ketosis It takes about a week for the body to start that shift from using carbohydrates or glucose, to using ketone bodies.

It is important to note that many sources promoting the ketogenic diet will use artificial sweeteners such as erythritol , sucralose, mannitol, sorbitol, dextrose. Once ketone production increases and the body is fat adapted, hunger and the need for frequent meals typically decreases.
