Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating plan designed to shift your body’s metabolism from burning carbohydrates to burning fats for energy. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fats, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it efficiently converts fat into ketones for fuel. This diet can lead to weight loss and has potential benefits for certain health conditions, such as epilepsy. However, it often requires careful meal planning to ensure nutritional balance and may not suit everyone’s lifestyle or health needs. Consulting a healthcare professional is advisable before starting.
