Why Keto Doesn't Work for Everyone

The keto diet has been brought  to the forefront of people’s awareness when considering  ‘diets for weight loss’. Every January, millions of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, often tackling past goals with renewed enthusiasm. Without surprise, one of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to lose weight or get into shape. In fact, each year, an estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet, yet,  nearly two-thirds of Americans  are overweight.

A keto diet is made up of mostly fats, some protein, and a minimal amount of carbohydrates.  This way of eating can put your body into a metabolic state  called ketosis. When in ketosis, your body uses its fat and ketones rather than glucose (sugar from the foods you eat) as its primary fuel source.

What Is keto?

Why doesn’t the  keto diet work for  some people?

The answer is STRESS, which contributes to imbalanced hormones.

Simply put, stress affects your hormones, and hormones control your weight. So, if your hormones are out of balance – mainly progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and insulin – losing weight will be nearly impossible even when following a traditional keto (or low carb,  or low calorie) diet.

Could your hormones be the reason for stubborn weight, mood swings,  hot flashes, etc?
