Ketogenic Diet
A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet designed to shift the body’s metabolism from relying on carbohydrates for energy to using fats, which results in the production of ketones in the liver. This metabolic state, known as ketosis, is achieved by reduced carbohydrate intake, increased fat consumption, and moderate protein intake. Originally developed for managing epilepsy, the ketogenic diet is now popular for weight loss, improving metabolic health, and potentially benefiting conditions like type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
