Sure, the keto diet can help you lose weight, but that's not the only way it targets belly fat. Dr. Phinney told POPSUGAR that it can help fight inflammation.
"A well-formulated ketogenic diet has potent anti-inflammatory effects throughout the body, including for belly fat, and thus enables a person to lose it," he says. Curbing chronic inflammation can also help you ease joint pain, digestive issues, fatigue, and skin issues.
