The ketogenic diet is a very-low carbohydrate, high fat, and moderate protein diet. The standard American diet is very high in carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and this causes a wide range of metabolic issues. 

In contrast, when you're on the ketogenic diet, you restrict carbohydrates to a small amount. Meals consist of a moderate amount of protein and a higher amount of fat instead. This way of eating helps your body switch from using sugar (carbs) as a main energy source to using fat and ketones as fuel. 

Burning fat as a primary biological fuel helps you feel better, think more clearly, and reverse many serious health conditions. Plus, meals are very satisfying!  In practice, the diet allows you to eat real foods in the form of natural fats (butter, olive oil) and protein (meat, fish, poultry) while carbohydrates (pasta, bread, cake, candy etc..) are restricted. 

On this website, I’ll talk about how the diet works, how it can improve your health, and I'll share details on the proper implementation of a keto diet.
