What Keto Means
The ketogenic diet is a strict form of low carb.
You reduce carbohydrates to a minimum (usually under 50 g per day), significantly increase fats, and consume moderate amounts of protein.
The goal: your body switches to ketosis – it burns fat instead of sugar as its main energy source.
Advantages of the Keto Diet
