Tag: Keto face

For every gram of stored carbohydrate, the body also retains approximately 2-3 grams of water, a key factor behind the puffy appearance known as 'carb face'. This bloating stands in stark contrast to the distinct changes many experience while transitioning to a ketogenic diet, often referred to as 'keto face'.

Anecdotal reports often cite a noticeably less 'bloaty' face soon after starting the ketogenic diet. The primary question many people have, however, is will keto make my face slimmer over the long term through sustained fat reduction? The answer is a multifaceted one, rooted in the diet's effects on overall body fat, water retention, and systemic inflammation.
