The Ketogenic diet

The ketogenic diet, sometimes known as the "keto" diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that has been utilised for centuries to treat particular medical disorders. The ketogenic diet was frequently used to manage diabetes in the 19th century. It was first presented in 1920 as a successful treatment for epilepsy in kids who were not responding to medicines. For the treatment of cancer, diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease, the ketogenic diet has also been investigated and utilised in carefully controlled conditions.

But because of the low-carb diet fad, which began in the 1970s with the Atkins diet, this diet is becoming much more popular as a viable weight-loss method (a very low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet, which was a commercial success and popularised low-carb diets to a new level). Today's Paleo, South Beach, and Dukan diets are all rich in protein but low in fat, as are other low-carb eating plans. The ketogenic diet, in contrast, stands out for its extraordinarily high fat content, which ranges from 70% to 80%, despite only having a small intake of protein.

The Ketogenic The idea behind the ketogenic diet for weight loss is that by denying the body of glucose—the primary source of energy for all cells in the body, which is gained by ingesting carbohydrate foods—ketones, a substitute fuel, are created from stored fat (thus the name "keto"-genic"). Because it cannot store glucose, the brain requires the most of it consistently, roughly 120 grammes per day. When fasting or very little carbohydrate is consumed, the body first releases glucose by temporarily destroying muscle and releasing glucose that has been stored in the liver. The body starts to burn fat as its main fuel if this goes on for three to four days and all of the stored glucose is used up.

There isn't a single, "standard," macronutrient ratio for a ketogenic diet (carbohydrates, protein, fat). The average daily intake of total carbohydrates on the ketogenic diet is less than 50 grammes, or about the same as a medium plain bagel, and can even be as low as 20 grammes. Popular ketogenic publications typically advise consuming 70–80% of your daily calories as fat, 5–10% as carbs, and 10–20% as protein. This is around 165 grammes of fat, 40 grammes of carbohydrates, and 75 grammes of protein for a diet of 2000 calories. In comparison to other low-carb, high-protein diets, the protein intake on the ketogenic diet is maintained reasonable since consuming too much protein can hinder ketosis. Because protein's amino acids can be transformed to glucose, a ketogenic diet
