The ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat eating plan designed to induce a state of ketosis in the body. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and increasing fat consumption, the body shifts its primary fuel source from glucose to ketones, promoting fat burning for energy. This diet has gained popularity for its potential benefits, including weight loss, improved mental clarity, and enhanced energy levels. However, it requires strict adherence to maintain ketosis. While some praise its efficacy, others caution about potential nutritional deficiencies and long-term health implications, making the ketogenic diet a topic of ongoing research and debate.
