The keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan designed to help the body enter a state called ketosis. In ketosis, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, which can lead to weight loss. People on a keto diet typically consume foods like meat, fish, eggs, dairy, nuts, and low-carb vegetables while avoiding sugary foods, grains, and starchy vegetables. Many people choose the keto diet for its potential health benefits, including improved energy levels and mental clarity. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new diet, as it may not be suitable for everyone.
