The best timing for a crash diet? Never!

When you first tell friends or family that you’re following a low-carb or keto diet, you might get some raised eyebrows or hear comments about “crash dieting”. It’s natural for people to be concerned about your health, but are these concerns valid? Let’s dive in.

What exactly is a crash diet?

A crash diet is usually associated with extreme, rapid weight loss achieved by severely restricting calories or eating only a limited variety of foods. These diets often promise dramatic results in a short time but are typically unsustainable and unhealthy in the long run. They may include drastic measures like detox drinks, fasting, or relying on special supplements to "cleanse" your body.

The reality? Crash diets might help you shed a few pounds quickly, but the weight usually comes back just as fast. More importantly, they don’t teach you how to develop healthy eating habits that last. The focus is on quick fixes rather than long-term health and well-being.

Why is keto different - and therefor better?

Keto isn’t a quick-fix diet that you abandon after a few weeks. It’s a sustainable lifestyle change that many people stick to for the long term. And the benefits go beyond just weight loss. Keto has been shown to help with conditions like type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, PCOS, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, among others. People who follow keto aren’t just trying to lose weight—they’re aiming for better overall health, more energy, and a lifestyle they can maintain.
