What is Ketogenic (Keto) Diet?

It is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet designed to put the body into a state of ketosis.

In ketosis, the body shifts from using glucose (derived from carbohydrates) as its primary energy source to burning fats.

When carb intake is very low, the body’s glycogen (stored glucose) depletes, leading to increased fat breakdown.

The liver converts fats into ketones, which are used as an alternative energy source.

The body adapts to using fat as its primary fuel, which can lead to weight loss, especially from fat stores.
