Keto Veteran: I Changed My Mind... You Shouldn’t Stay in Ketosis Forever - Ben Azadi

One of his clients started eating significantly MORE food and LOST 27 pounds in 30 days. Because eating less isn’t always the answer to losing more weight. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down why chronic calorie restriction can eventually work against your metabolism, what it really means to become metabolically flexible, and why constantly relying on carbohydrates can drive hunger and cravings. He also explains why he changed his mind about staying in ketosis long-term, and how keto and fasting can be used strategically without becoming permanent restrictions. Ben is a bestselling author, metabolic health educator and founder of Keto Kamp. After transforming his own health and losing 80 pounds, he dedicated his career to helping others improve their metabolic health through nutrition, fasting and lifestyle strategies. He is the author of Metabolic Freedom and Keto Flex Revised and has spent more than a decade teaching people how to use keto and fasting as tools rather than permanent restrictions.
