The ketogenic diet (aka keto diet) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that has many health benefits. It is a diet that causes the body to release ketones into the bloodstream. This diet forces the body to burn fats rather than Carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into Glucose which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if there is a little carbohydrate in the diet, and only fat is available for the body to burn, the liver converts the fats into fatty acids, and then into compounds called ketones, which can be taken up and used to fuel the body's cells. A keto diet forces the body into a state called ketosis, meaning that the body's cells depend largely on ketones for energy. Ketosis is a natural state for the body when it is almost completely fueled by fat. How to do the keto diet ..? eat a diet low in carbohydrates, and high in fats, Sounds simple huh? Now, ...
