When I started talking to people about their experiences with keto, I heard the same phrase repeated more than once: It’s not a diet, it’s a way of eating (or a way of life). Proponents of keto are believers, and their trust in the system seems to be what keeps them going, what drives them to stir butter into their coffee and to enthusiastically eat bacon by the pound.
For the uninitiated, keto refers to a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet that triggers your body to switch its primary fuel source from glucose to ketones. After your body has exhausted its supply of glucose (the sugars that are found in foods high in sugars or starch), your liver begins to produce ketones from fats.
