Keto Isn't Always the Answer - Replayed Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

Even though most keto experts will tout the benefits of keto and they'll teach you how to start your keto diet tomorrow, they won't tell you when keto might not be the right plan for you.
Even though keto might not be right for you now, there are steps you can take to make keto right for you.
We're not Jillian Michaels - she says keto isn't right for anyone
Still, keto isn't automatically a magical plan for everyone
Don't expect massive weight loss just because you're cutting back on carbs
If your body isn't processing fat well, you need to work with your body to improve this in order to help make keto right for you.
