Choosing the right keto diet plan is important. I would say that all keto plans I have come across work; however, the key is not if they work but if they work for you. Finding a plan that works for you can be the difference between liking keto or hating it, continuing or giving up, the plan being easy or hard, enjoyable or an endurance test. Here is a breakdown of the types of keto diets you can have access to and also a guide to help you find out your dieting style.
FINDING YOUR KETO DIETING STYLE
