I'd sure like to see some Keto proponent address the possibility that the improvements from a Keto diet may have nothing to do with ketosis and more to do with the many foods that are eliminated from the diet when going Keto.

The effect of sugars and other things consumed in a contemporary diet are very suspect and studies suggest they are a key part of the struggles people have. The improvements many claim and report are long before they have achieved a state of ketosis, if they ever even reach that state. Using MCT oil as a pick me up goes against all of the keto science.


Can we achieve the benefits by just cleaning up our diets?
