Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

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.
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.
Yes, yes. We know what the keto diet is pretending to do, but that's all it's doing: Pretending.
