Weight loss should not be assessed solely using the scale, but by observing changes in clothing sizes or by conducting a body composition analysis to understand how the percentage of fat and muscle changes. This is because increased protein intake promotes lean mass and muscle growth, which, at the same volume, weighs much more than fat. A feeling of bloating may occur if one consumes too little water; it is essential to drink at least two liters of water per day.

Maintenance

The problem with diets is that often weight loss occurs quickly, but weight gain occurs even more rapidly when returning to normal eating habits. A ketogenic diet requires a gradual reintroduction of sugars, starting with simple sugars and then progressing to complex ones. A maintenance phase is necessary before returning to a traditional diet.
