Ketogenic Diet

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carb eating plan originally developed to treat epilepsy, which works by shifting the body's energy source from carbohydrates to fats through the production of ketone bodies. While it was widely used for seizure control in the past, it has also gained popularity as a weight loss strategy, with variations like the cyclical ketogenic diet tailored for those seeking different benefits. The diet involves eliminating carb-heavy foods and increasing intake of high-fat items such as nuts, butter, and cream, though maintaining long-term consistency is essential for effective results.
