This Diet Claims To ‘Trick’ Your Metabolism Into Working Harder—But Is It Safe?

Scott Keatley, RD, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy, was featured in Women's Health discussing the metabolic confusion diet. He emphasized the flexibility of this approach, which can help individuals adhere to their diets and reduce the temptation to overindulge. However, Keatley also warned of potential risks, such as nutritional imbalances and the difficulty of maintaining calorie restriction over time. He concluded that while metabolic confusion might offer short-term weight loss benefits, a consistent and balanced dietary approach is generally more effective for sustainable results.
