The Keto Diet: What is it and how can it help you lose weight?

Unlike the Atkins diet, the ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet.

Carbohydrates are significantly reduced, and fat is substituted. Your body enters a metabolic condition known as ketosis as a result of this reduction in carbohydrates.

When this happens, your body can burn fat for energy at an incredible rate. The liver also produces ketones from fat, which the brain can use for energy.
Ketogenic diets have been shown to reduce blood sugar and insulin levels by a significant amount. With the higher ketones, there are certain health advantages.
