1. My aha-moment in the article about ketogenic diet was in the last paragraph when the writer said yo-yo diets like the veto diet don't work because all it really does is fluctuate an individual's weight. Which makes complete sense as to why a keto diet could never work in the long run. The core base of the keto diet is for an individual to rely on proteins and fats. How long can an individual eat just protein and fats for, not too long ever, and as soon as they eat some carbs, all that weight catches right back up like a "yo-yo."
