It has many benefits for weight loss, health, and performance. “Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet). The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates. You cut back most on the carbs that are easy to digest, like sugar, soda, pastries, and white bread. When you eat less than 50 grams of carbs a day, your body eventually runs out o
f fuel (blood sugar) it can use quickly. Then you’ll start to break down protein and fat for energy, which can make you lose weight. This is called ketosis. It's important to note that the ketogenic diet is a short term diet that's focussed on weight loss rather than the pursuit of health benefits. A ketogenic diet may help you lose more weight in the first 3 to 6 months than some other diets. This may be because it takes more calories to change fat into energy than it does to change carbs into energy. It’s also possible that a high-fat, high-protein diet satisfies you more, so you eat less, but that hasn’t been proved yet. sources : https://www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slideshow-ketogenic-diet #:~:text=%E2%80%9CKetogenic%E2%80%9D%20is%20a%20term%20for,%2C%20pastries%2C%20and%20white%20bread.
