ketogenic diet
Fat-fueled eating plan
A ketogenic diet drastically restricts carbohydrates to force the body into ketosis—a metabolic state where fat becomes the primary fuel source instead of glucose.
The diet typically emphasizes high fat intake, moderate protein, and very few carbs: She lost thirty pounds on keto.
Originally developed to treat epilepsy, it's now popular for weight loss.
