What Results Can You Expect?

Everyone’s different. Some people lose weight fast. Others feel more focused, sleep better, or have fewer cravings.

A study in Nutrition & Metabolism found that very low-carb diets like keto can improve weight loss, insulin sensitivity, and appetite control. NCBI link

Focus on how you feel, not just the number on the scale.
