Ketogenic diets

A ketogenic diet focuses on consuming high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate foods. This shifts the body’s primary energy source from glucose, derived from carbs, to ketones produced in the liver from fat. This metabolic state, called ketosis, can help with weight loss and improve certain health conditions like epilepsy. It emphasizes foods like meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, healthy oils, and low-carb vegetables, while restricting sugars, grains, and most fruits. Proper adherence and guidance are important to ensure nutritional balance and safety.
