This especially happens among people who have many doubts about the various weight loss diet plans. We understand that there are plenty of fad diets which are promising tremendous <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/what-is-dirty-keto-diet\/\">weight loss results<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keto is an extreme shift from a traditional balanced diet. Its aim is to switch your body&#8217;s calorie primary fuel source from carbs or sugar to fats (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/news\/20161230\/secrets-of-metabolism#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Regulating your calorie intake to fats may help the body burn more fats, which results in weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that most people over 60 struggle with a slow metabolism, they tend to report weight loss results more slowly than those who are younger.
