What happens after keto?

Google searches for this question have shot up in recent weeks.

I'm not surprised.

An unprecedented number of people went keto in January purely as a quick weight loss hack. And now they're looking to

transition off this weird diet. Tortillas and bagels beckon, after all. This is the wrong way to

approach keto, obviously. It's not a quick hack. It isn't magic. And if it were magic,

the magic takes a while to happen.

Asking what happens after keto is the wrong question to ask.

Here's my answer to all those folks who are wondering.

Keto is a reset, a keto reset even.

It's a return to the ancestral metabolic state. The metabolic state we were

born into. Newborns are filthy with ketones, even on their relatively sweet mother's milk diet.

Keto happens really easily in humans compared to other animals. You go 12 hours without eating

and then wake up in the morning,

you'll have delectable ketones on your breath.

It's almost like we're made for it.

Then we enter the real world.

We start sitting in chairs for half the day.
