(22,650 posts)"Proper Human Diet". Most people use "diet" as a calorie cutting, exercise regimen to lose weight and after they lose the weight they go back to the way of eating that made them lose the weight. Remember Oprah walking across the stage in her skinny jeans, pulling a wagon containing the equivalent amount of fat she had lost and then a year later having regained all of it and more after going off her diet, resuming how she ate before.
The ketogenic dietary lifestyle is in no way like the recommended food pyramid which has resulted in this country with its SAD (Standard American Diet) resulting in a nation with an obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemic with all of its associated illnesses.
So keto is a dietary lifestyle where you very likely will lose weight on it, but that is not the sole point. And to maintain its health benefits you need to adopt it as your dietary lifestyle and not just a diet for weight loss.
