It can even lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes later in life. It has become very popular in the past few years because it can be a very successful strategy for losing fat.
Why the Keto Diet works for Weight Loss

Is the Keto Diet Safe?
For the most part, keto has an outstanding safety profile. When done correctly, and the client doesn't have any major health conditions, it's likely to be completely safe for them. It is definitely much safer than a diet high in processed carbs and sugar.
