No it’s not, it’s about eating things that more easily signal to your body that you are full and learning to hear that signal, and in turn eating at a calorie deficit.
LOL. This couldn’t be further from what a Keto diet is trying to do. Quindraco nailed it. The Keto diet is meant kick your body into cannabilising its own fat stores for energy rather than use the energy from the food you’re eating.
If you want to see it in action, watch the series The Human Body EP 1. They chronicle someone who swam the English Channel. It took 14h and he lost about 20 lbs. doing it. The show speaks about the process, but basically, that is Keto.
Did you know when your body gets too hot you thermoregulate to bring it back down to a normal temperature? It’s what separates us from reptiles.
A fever is when your immune system tells your body NOT to do that so you can better kill off pathogens. Besides, the 50-150 cal burned by ketosis would raise your body temperature by an absolutely negligible amount, drinking a cup of tea would have a more noticeable impact on skin temp
What separates us from the reptiles is that we can get our body temperature UP by burning calories. If you run hot, you can only passively cool down by sweating lots or walking around naked, I guess. If you aren’t sweating lots, you aren’t losing significant excess heat. But the actual point of the OP is that many people who are even only 40 lb overweight already eat in excess of 150 kcal, never mind 50. If this is how ketosis works, they wouldn’t run super hot, but they would also never get to a normal weight. Also, you can achieve the same effect by exercising or even just drinking cold water. Think about how many people got thin by doing this.
BTW, when you drink tea etc, your body reduces heat production to compensate.
I mean it’s a mechanical process that if left too long, will even strip the essential fats off your internal organs, so yeah, it’s not for Suzy who like knows nothing about like exercise but wants to look wicked skinny for TikTok, yo!
This is false. Keto isn’t about a caloric deficit, it’s about exploiting a loophole in the Krebs cycle by tricking your body into a starvation state.
No it’s not, it’s about eating things that more easily signal to your body that you are full and learning to hear that signal, and in turn eating at a calorie deficit.
No. Its about creating ketones out of fat cells that your body uses as a subsitute for carbs. Nothing to do with caloric deficit.
Why would the body be looking for carb substitutes?
Energy. Some organs can only work function by way of carbs, such as glucose. Like the brain.
So… Calorie deficit
If your aim is to trim fat from your brain, yes.
Brain works fine on ketones.
Edit: Look it up yourselves if you’re doubting.

Yes, yes. We know what the keto diet is pretending to do, but that’s all it’s doing: Pretending.
If this was true, your body temperature would just sky rocket.
People on keto diets have greater measured energy expenditure at rest, so yes, they are producing more waste heat
Which is bullshit because they are not running a fever, which would be extremely unhealthy anyway.

Keto was developed in the 1920s and is about controlling seizures in drug resistant epileptic children.
