keto diet

The Keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating plan designed to shift the body’s metabolism from burning carbohydrates for energy to burning fats. By significantly reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fat consumption, the body enters a state called ketosis, where it efficiently converts fat into ketones for energy. This can lead to weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and increased energy levels. Foods typically emphasized in this diet include fatty meats, full-fat dairy, nuts, and low-carb vegetables, while grains, sugars, and most fruits are limited.
