The keto diet is very low carb, less than 50 grams of carbs a day. It was developed in the 1920s as a remedy for epilepsy and it's still used today to control seizures. Each gram of glycogen in your body stores is bound to some experts say three to four grams of water. So when you use up those stores, you lose a bit of water weight super fast.
Carbohydrates: no longer just for your piehole. Stuff some knowledge into your ears with sugar scientist Michelle Dookwah and learn how your cells use carbs to communicate, the whys behind your winter cravings, the hot goss on the keto diet, and how much sugar you should really be eating. Also: B-movies about biology and the weirdest thing Alie ate today.
