When you start the keto diet and follow it completely for two weeks, this may lead to losing more than 10 kilos of your weight due to fluid retention, which may be  Locked up for several years due to excessive sugar intake.
Sugar leads to an increase in insulin, and when you eat it in abundance, the body will not be able to consume it, which will turn it into fat, and after only two weeks or less of stopping eating sugar, you will find that you have an excessive desire to urinate to expel the fluids accumulated over the years. This is what makes it special, as you only need a few days to see the results of your keto diet.
