Question: how many calories to lose weight in ketosis?
Answer: Increased ability to burn fat. 4,3,15 A recent pilot study–though flawed and biased against low-carb eating–showed a significant increase in energy expenditure (100-150 calories/day) associated with a ketogenic diet. 16 If sustained, this would lead to ~ 10 to 15 pounds of fat lost, or not gained, over a year.
