What is a ketogenic diet?
A ketogenic diet, or keto diet for short, is a low-carb, high-fat diet.
When we consistently consume foods that are very low in carbs, have moderate protein and high-fat content, our body will enter a metabolic state called ketosis. This means our body starts to burn fat for fuel.
Some known health benefits of a keto-friendly lifestyle include:
- Losing weight and body fat without hunger
- Beneficial in treating type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
- Helps to reduce blood sugar levels
- Improved clarity of thought
