In this episode, Rachel breaks down the potential benefits of following a ketogenic diet for fat loss, keto on a spectrum and why some people may not thrive using keto for fat loss, why metabolic flexibility should be the ultimate end goal, and more!
"Generally speaking, if you're closer to the side of the spectrum that is more sedentary and overweight, you'll likely thrive using keto as a fat loss tool. If you're closer to the other side of the spectrum (lean and more active), keto may not be the best option when it comes to fat loss." Rachel Gregory
