What is Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet (or keto for short) is an extremely low-carb, high-fat, moderate-protein diet. This diet focuses on meats, dairy, eggs, fish, nuts, butter, oils, and non-starchy vegetables, similar to other grain-free and low- carb diets like paleo and Atkins.

When most of the body’s carbohydrate intake is replaced with fat, the body becomes more efficient at burning fat for energy. Normally, cells generate energy from blood sugar, which is derived from carbs. However, if the blood contains more ketones (fat molecules) than blood sugar, the body will burn stored fat instead. Ketosis is the name for this metabolic condition.

The Ketogenic diet has been around for centuries. This diet has various benefits such as a treatment for children with epilepsy and other neurological illness, but this diet is most known for its success in helping lose weight.
