EventsNew study: The keto diet burns TEN TIMES more fat than a standard diet, even without exercise
, medical review by Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, MD
in Keto, Ketosis, New study 
Wondering why so many stars (like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens) all of a sudden are embracing a keto diet? This might be a reason why.
According to a new study, people on the low-carb high-fat regimen burn up to ten times more fat than controls, even without exercise.
They found that that those following the low-carb plan advocated by the diet saw the most health benefits compared to those on a typical diet, whether the latter carried out physical activity or not.
Of course, this study is fairly small and a bit of an outlier. It’s not usual to burn ten times more fat, but a keto low-carb diet usually does win against other diets in weight-loss studies.1

Here are two of the top studies showing more weight loss and improvements in health markers on low carb:
- New England Journal of Medicine 2008: Weight loss with a low-carbohydrate, mediterranean, or low-fat diet
- Annals of Internal Medicine 2014: Effects of Low-Carbohydrate and Low-Fat Diets: A Randomized Trial
Similar results have been found in meta-analyses of all studies, for example this recent analysis:
For many more studies on the topic, have a look at our low-carb science page:

consider advising people to visit your site. PLEASE stick with talking to REAL people, and experts in the field! Surely you do not need to keep mentioning these "famous" (?) people. We need trustworthy, credible information, not a Who's Who fad.
They are being used for examples of their rapid weight loss and because of it being put all over the tabloids. There are also tons of non Hollywood examples as well. Focus on that.
I can’t stand the Kardashian’s and what they are doing with their lives but i can say this site is full of knowledge for living low carb.
The advice on DD site is excellent .... do cut them some slack, it's a big world out there!!
Please bear in mind, LCHF/Keto as a lifestyle needs to be spread across the world. So many are in need of information that enables a complete reversal/reduction of metabolic syndrome and other inflammatory disorders. I know of one woman that has sent her breast cancer into remission with a 100% ketogenic diet...and if it takes Rihanna or Kim Kardashian to influence the masses, so be it. More the merrier!! Get rid of the negativity folks, let us all in our own ways bow to this wonderful team at Diet Doctor that has changed the lives of so many. Thank you!

I hope you all get good results from the keto life style!
