Keto Diet and Metabolic Rate

The keto diet can influence metabolic rate, often leading to an initial increase due to fat adaptation. However, prolonged calorie restriction can slow metabolism. To maintain a healthy metabolic rate, ensure adequate caloric intake and incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass. Cycling between periods of keto and higher-carb intake, known as “cyclical keto,” can also support metabolic flexibility. Regular monitoring and adjustments are essential for long-term metabolic health on keto.
