What is KETO?

KETO stands for “ketogenic,” and is a specialized diet designed to promote fat secretion and make it the body’s main source of energy. The ketogenic diet focuses on reducing the amount of carbohydrates in the daily diet and replacing them with high amounts of protein and oils, mainly fatty oils. The goal of KETO is to put the body into a state called “ketosis.”

In a state of ketosis, the body produces compounds called “ketones” from fat to use for energy instead of relying on glucose from carbohydrates. This can help with weight loss, as the body will consume fat reserves for energy instead of consuming more carbohydrates.

The ketogenic diet is typically very low in carbohydrates, usually less than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day. People practicing KETO often eat a lot of meat, seafood, eggs, fatty oils, seeds and green vegetables to ensure the source of protein and fat needed for the body.

While KETO can help practitioners lose weight quickly and improve their health, it also requires patience and careful management in terms of tracking carbohydrate intake and maintaining this diet. You should discuss it with a nutritionist or doctor before starting any diet, including KETO, to ensure that it is appropriate and safe for you.
