10 Side Effects of Ketosis
Ketosis Side Effect #4: Weight Loss
One of the most common reasons that people partake in the ketogenic diet is because it helps them lose weight. This can occur over the short-term and over the long-term. Rapid weight loss tends to occur during the first week or two.
This isn’t usually due to the loss of fat, however. It’s more so because your body is excreting stored water and carbohydrates. As these are deposited through urine or burned off as energy, you will notice quick weight loss.
