Keto diet

The ketogenic diet (keto) is a high-fat, adequate-protein, and very-low-carbohydrate nutritional strategy. It typically restricts daily carbohydrate intake to a maximum of 50 grams, or roughly 5-10% of total daily energy intake, while increasing fat intake to 60-80% and keeping protein moderate at 10-30%. Originally developed to treat epilepsy, it has evolved into a prominent, evidence-based intervention for managing obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.
