The Ketogenic eating (or simply known as keto) concentrates on protein and fat intake, with minimal servings of carbohydrates. The diet is created to reduce carbohydrate foods to bring the body in a metabolic state called ketosis.
Ketosis happens when the body begins to burn fat as energy due to unavailable carbohydrate source. Fat, when metabolized for energy, is converted to ketones to supply the body the energy needed for function.
There are several studies that states how ketogenic diet can effectively bring about a substantial weight loss and reduce risk factors for those suffering from lifestyle-related diseases. In a 2014 study, it was concluded that a low carbohydrate diet can curve hunger and boost fat oxidative metabolism and can potentially be useful in the management of obese patients.
