You have probably heard about Keto a lot these past few years, but you have wondered, “What exactly is keto?” The Ketogenic (or Keto for short) is a diet plan where your carbohydrate intake is severely reduced while your fat and proteins are increased.
When the body’s carbohydrate supply is low enough, the liver converts stored body and dietary fats into energy. This forces your body to use existing body fat as the primary source of power, therefore helping weight loss. It may seem like a new type of diet, but studies show that it has been used in the medical field for over a century to treat epilepsy in children.
