How fast keto weight loss?

I'm starting the keto diet next week and I'm really motivated to see some results. I've heard people lose weight fast on it. How fast can one realistically expect to lose weight on a keto diet?

My son tried keto for his weight issues and lost almost 3 kg in the first week, but most of it was just water. It is very fast initially, but you have to make sure they don't get too exhausted. I kept giving him home-cooked clear vegetable broths to keep his energy up.

Bro, keto works crazy fast in the beginning, like I lost 4 kg in 10 days. But honestly, a lot of it is water weight, and the moment you eat one roti, some of it comes back. You have to be super disciplined to keep it off.

It is true that keto drops your weight fast, sometimes 4-5 kg in a month, but it can be very hard on our Indian digestive systems. I always feel that drinking warm water with lemon and cutting down on bakery sugar is much gentler and easier to sustain than doing strict keto.

Keto weight loss is fast because you deplete your glycogen stores, which drops water weight in 48 hours. After that, actual fat loss is about 1 kg per week if you are in a calorie deficit. It works, but only if you can survive without rice and roti.

It is super fast! You can see changes on the scale within 4 to 5 days of cutting carbs. Just make sure you stay hydrated because your body loses a lot of fluids during the first week.
