The <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lazy-keto-meal-plan\/\">keto diet<\/a> aims to achieve a calorie deficit and ketosis, shifting from burning glucose for fuel to burning fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dirty keto meets the macronutrient requirements of a standard ketogenic diet (typically 70\u201375% fat, 20\u201325% protein, and 5\u201310% carbs) without worrying about food quality (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/10408398.2023.2300705#abstract\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there&#8217;s a catch. The weight you lose on dirty keto might not always reflect fat loss\u2014it could include water and lean muscle mass due to inadequate nutrient intake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many processed foods in dirty keto are calorie-dense but lack fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
