Keto (or ketogenic) diet is a high -fat diet, low carbohydrates that can help you lose weight quickly.
This diet was originally developed to help treat epilepsy in children, but now became popular as an effective way to lose weight.
Ketosis is the process in which your body burns fat as the main fuel rather than carbohydrates.
The keto diet involves reducing carbohydrate intake to around 20-50 grams per day and increasing fat intake to around 70-80% of the total daily calories.
Foods permitted in the keto diet include meat, fish, eggs, nuts, non-starch, and healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados.
Foods that should be avoided include sugar, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and sweet fruits.
Keto diet can also help increase good cholesterol levels (HDL) and reduce poor cholesterol levels (LDL).
Some studies have shown that the keto diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Keto diet can also help increase energy and mental focus, as well as reduce inflammation in the body.
However, the keto diet is not suitable for everyone and can cause side effects such as headaches, fatigue, and constipation. We recommend that you consult a doctor or nutritionist before trying this diet.
