How to Start a Keto Diet: A Beginners Guide to Boost Energy Levels, Induce Clear Thinking, Lose Weight, And Improve Cognitive Performance

By Erika Robinson

The Ketogenic diet, also known as the keto diet is a low carbohydrate, adequate-protein, and high-fat diet. This diet is used in treating refractory (hard to control) epilepsy. It works by forcing the body to burn fats instead of carbohydrates. Since this is a high-fat diet, the liver converts these fats into fatty acids and ketones.

Ketones then pass to the brain and replace glucose as a source of energy. This, in turn, leads to ketosis, a state of high levels of ketone bodies in the bloodstream.

In this state, the frequency of epileptic seizures is reduced and even stopped in some cases. Today, this diet is not only used for epilepsy but a wide range of health conditions including obesity.
