The Keto Diet is a high-fat, low-carb diet designed to put the body into a state of ketosis, when it burns fat rather than carbs for energy.
People with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance may benefit from keto's ability to control blood sugar levels.
By altering the body's metabolism to burn fat for energy, keto may hasten weight loss by reducing appetite and calorie consumption.
Due to steady blood sugar and ketone usage, some people on the Keto Diet report increased energy and mental clarity.
High consumption of saturated fats in the Keto diet may increase LDL cholesterol levels, which in some cases may increase the risk of heart disease.
Since keto limits a number of food groups, deficits in important nutrients including fiber, vitamins, and minerals may result.
The "keto flu," or transient side effects of shifting into ketosis, might include headaches, nausea, and exhaustion.
