What is Keto?

It’s referred to as many different names – ketogenic diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), etc.

A keto diet is well known for being a low carb diet, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. Ketosis is a natural process the body initiates to help us survive when food intake is low. During this state, we produce ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver. The end goal of a properly maintained keto diet is to force your body into this metabolic state. We don’t do this through starvation of calories but starvation of carbohydrates.
