Perhaps the biggest attraction to adopting a ketogenic diet is the promise of weight loss. And many people do experience rapid initial weight loss from following a ketogenic diet, mainly due to reduced calorie intake, which may result from influences associated with low carbohydrate intake such as increased fullness and decreased hunger and appetite. Loss of body water and increased energy expenditure (i.e., more calories burned) are also believed to play a role. When you quit keto, however, some immediate regain of body weight will occur as the body rebuilds its glycogen stores, a process that retains water (and its associated weight).
