                                For those on a ketogenic diet, the rapid initial weight loss, colloquially known as the 'keto whoosh,' is a significant and motivating event, but it is primarily attributed to water weight loss, not true fat reduction. Many dieters are often surprised when this quick-win phase is followed by a slowdown or complete stall in progress. Understanding what happens after the keto whoosh is crucial for sustainable, long-term success.
