Understanding the Keto Diet

The ketogenic diet, commonly known as keto, is a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet that helps the body burn fat for energy instead of carbs. When carbohydrate intake is reduced, the body enters a state called ketosis, where fat becomes the primary fuel source.

Many people follow the keto diet for weight loss and improved energy levels. It may also help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cravings. However, maintaining the diet requires discipline and careful planning of meals.

Before starting a keto diet, it is important to consult a healthcare professional. Not everyone responds the same way, and proper guidance ensures that you follow the diet safely and effectively while meeting your nutritional needs.
