WHAT IS A KETO DIET?
A keto diet consists of eating foods that are high in fats while limiting your carbohydrate consumption. While you can consume some carbs, your daily intake must be very low as the purpose of this diet is to cause the body to go into ketosis. When you are in ketosis, your body burns fat more efficiently because it does not have enough carbohydrates to rely on for energy.
There are two primary Keto diets that people use for weight loss. The first is the standard ketogenic diet, you will break down your macronutrients in the following way: 20 percent protein, 75 percent fat and five percent carbohydrates. With the high-protein ketogenic diet, you will follow this ratio: 35 percent protein, 60 percent fat and five percent carbohydrates. Both of them work largely the same regarding causing your body to change its primary source of energy to fat.
