The ketogenic or "keto" diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been used for ages to treat various medical issues. The ketogenic diet was widely utilized to help treat diabetes in the nineteenth century. It was launched in 1920 as a successful treatment for epilepsy in children who had failed to respond to medicines. The ketogenic diet has also been studied and utilized in cancer, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease.
The ketogenic diet for weight loss is based on the idea that by depriving the body of glucose—the primary source of energy for all cells in the body, which is gained by ingesting carbohydrate foods—an alternative fuel called ketones is created from stored fat (thus the word "keto"-genic).
