Dr. Berg's Healthful Keto® Diet Plan: Burning Fat and Intermittent Fasting

In order to encourage fat burning and possibly accelerate ketosis, a keto diet mixed with intermittent fasting entails ingesting high-fat, low-carb ketogenic foods during a restricted eating window (such as the 16/8 technique). Intermittent fasting establishes eating habits with periods of eating and fasting, which promotes fat burning during the fasting phase, even if the keto diet tightly restricts carbohydrates to induce ketosis by burning fat for fuel. When compared to following the keto diet alone, combining the two can help produce a bigger total reduction in body fat and faster fat loss.
