The Keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating plan designed to promote weight loss and improve health. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it becomes more efficient at burning fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. In a typical Keto diet, foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, and low-carb vegetables are encouraged, while sugary foods, grains, and starchy vegetables are limited. This shift in diet can help some individuals manage their weight and may have potential benefits for certain health conditions, such as epilepsy and type 2 diabetes.
