◆ What Is a Ketogenic Diet?◆The ketogenic diet is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets.◆It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis.◆When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source).◆Ketogenic diets can cause massive reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with the increased ketones, has numerous health benefits (6Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source, 9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source, 11Trusted Source).
