This initial weight loss is then followed by a slower weight loss, although this time you’re now losing body fat and not water weight.

Another benefit of the Keto Diets are lower blood pressure and higher good HDL cholesterol levels which were discovered during several month long blind trials.

The LCHF diet induced a rather modest increase in HDL cholesterol (effect size 0.32 mM) in the current trial. - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ (3)

 

2. A Keto Diet Improves Blood Sugar Levels

Carbs may be an essential part of the human body, but too many carbs in your diet can lead to problems. Carbs are converted into glucose (your body’s preferred energy source) which leads to blood sugar spikes, mood swings, and inflammation – not to mention it is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance.
