What's the point of Low Carb/Keto if you can lose fat without restricting carbs?
Feeling fuller while cutting, thus making it easier to eat less.
Because muh fad diet
It helps curb the feeling of hunger, making it easier to maintain a deficit, that's basically it.
Doesn't work for me, I feel hungrier when I restrict carbs.

Does it target fat?

Every time your liver glycogen stores are refilled it interrupts the process of converting fat into ketones. Ketosis is how you use your fat for energy, regardless of your macros.
The higher your BF% the better it is to stay in ketosis. Once you hit 15ish% you really do need carbs to give you the energy to lift.

Yeah. There's no reason you should lose more mass on keto than a regular diet, but there may be a muscle sparing effect meaning more of the mass you lose is fat. Hopefully.

the difference is negligible to be honest. You may see a very mild difference between two people maintaining the same deficit over time with one doing keto and one eating a "normal" diet but the difference is going to be insignificant. Whatever helps a person stick to their deficit is the best diet for fat loss, for me that's keto.

Or alternatively, once you hit 15% losing fat gets more difficult so you should do something like keto, carb cycling, or intermittent fasting.
reset insulin sensitivity, which improves partitioning when you start bulking
stubborn fat storage, etc.

A coherent, non bias opinion based on facts.... fuck off anon, this is /fit/

You will lose fat more quickly. For example, you can turn your 6 week cut into a 4 week cut.
You also stop getting 'carb hunger' after a few days so its easier to maintain your diet and not fall off the wagon.

What the fuck why does he suddenly look 50? Looks like Michael Pachter
There is literally no fucking point because if you eat a surplus you will still gain weight on keto.
You have to waste willpower to establish a deficit, then waste willpower a second time to eat only keto food for no reason.
Absolute waste.

Lyle pls, even you say so yourself that Keto isn't the best diet
