Ok, thanks man. One more question this diet looks like a high fat diet, how is it supposed to make me lose fat?
contrary to popular belief, eating fat doesn't make you fat.
The body stores excess calories (from protein, fat, or carbs) all as far if they are not being directly used or burned as energy.
Fat, which is the slowest digesting of all the macronutrients, will not spike your blood insulin levels and thus not increase the stream of nutrients being absorbed in the body.
When you consume carbs (particularly simple carbs or sugars) your insulin spikes and anything you are eating along with it becomes stored as fat more quickly if it is not immediately used for either repair, building, or energy.
Basically, carbs are the enemy of a lean body for the most part...not fat.
The keto diet puts your body in ketosis which uses fat as energy, and not carbs (glycogen). As a result, your body uses your existing fat stores as energy between meals and during intense workouts, thus maximizing your fat loss.
