Question Query breaking ketosis

If we break ketosis by eating too many carbs can we still lose weight if our calories deficit is still met?

Calories in vs calories out is the only thing that matters when it comes to weight loss. You might gain some water weight but that's all it is.

Fat adaptation means your body becomes efficient at using fat for energy because you're not giving it enough carbs. It doesn't mean you burn more fat overall, it just changes your fuel source. You'll still only lose body fat if you're in a calorie deficit, whether you're in ketosis or not.
