The ketogenic diet is a dietary approach that involves consuming a high amount of healthy fats, a moderate amount of protein, and a minimal amount of carbohydrates. By severely limiting carbohydrate intake, the body enters a state of ketosis, where it relies on fat for energy instead of glucose from carbohydrates.
In ketosis, the liver converts fat into ketones, which serve as an alternative energy source for the brain and body. This metabolic shift can lead to several benefits, including weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced mental clarity, and increased energy levels. The ketogenic diet has also shown promise in managing certain neurological conditions, such as epilepsy.
