Tag: Calories on keto

An estimated 80% of people who attempt to lose weight through traditional calorie-restricted diets fail in the long run. For those exploring alternatives, a common question arises: do you have to count calories on keto? The answer depends largely on your personal goals and how your body responds to the high-fat, low-carb approach.

According to one study, many people experience reduced hunger and fewer cravings on a ketogenic diet due to increased satiety signals. However, the widespread belief that this means you can eat all I want on keto is a common misconception, especially if weight loss is your goal.

It’s a common misconception that because the keto diet is high in fat, you can eat unlimited amounts of food without gaining weight. While the keto diet often naturally reduces appetite and lowers overall food intake, calories still matter, and a calorie surplus can still prevent weight loss or even cause weight gain.
