The keto diet is one of the biggest diet crazes of the last decade. Celebrities have expressed their love for keto, and research shows the diet offers weight loss and other health benefits. However, some nutrition experts say a true keto diet may be too strict and unsustainable for many people, so being a little lax on the rules—also known as “lazy keto“—can still bring benefits.
As an FYI, the ketogenic diet has traditionally been a therapeutic diet used for decades to treat epilepsy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The aim is to enable the body to go from burning glucose provided by carbs to burning ketones, produced by fat, for energy. The process, known as ketosis, can speed up metabolism, stave off hunger, increase muscle mass and improve blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.
