keto

Carbs are forbidden

Keto is short for ketogenic, describing a high-fat, very-low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fat for fuel instead of glucose.

The diet aims to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the liver converts fat into ketones for energy.

I've been doing keto for three months.

Keto appears as a modifier for compliant foods: keto bread, keto snacks.
