The stupidity of $cience cultism has spread to the extent that discussing the physiological benefits of keto and its application to weight management will cause many of the sheep to scream 'misinformation' rather than attempt to properly refute the points. But yes, replace high-insulin-responsive foods with low responsive foods to facilitate insulin sensitivity.This sensitivity from resistance will allow for the body to approach and maintain baseline insulin levels. As these levels are reached, the counter regulatory hormones are able to do their job. These counter regulatory hormones are indirectly responsible for improving fat adaptation. adequate fat adaptation facilitates the withdrawal of chemical energy to be used by the body to meet any deficit. Therefore, when you are adequately fat adapted, you can induce a caloric deficit with next to no adverse repercussions (ravenous, chronic hunger, diminished satiety). From this, the body is readily able to withdraw all the fat and glycogen it needs to meet any energy deficits. This is how the stability of long-term weight loss is maximized when paired with CICO. Imagine losing 100 pounds where each day you barely felt hungry. Such is the power of the physiological and biological model of weight management as opposed to a strict, narrow physics model of weight management. But say this online and you will have idealogues go for the jugular rather than substantiate their claims.
