New study: The keto diet burns TEN TIMES more fat than a standard diet, even without exercise

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
