Keto and intermittent fasting both help some people lose weight, but they work differently and suit different lifestyles.

How each works

Keto shifts your body toward burning fat by cutting carbs sharply. Intermittent fasting focuses on when you eat, narrowing your daily eating window.

The best approach is the one you can maintain. Fasting is simpler to follow socially; keto requires more planning around food choices.

A registered dietitian can help match an approach to your goals, preferences, and health history.
