I've heard a lot about the ketogenic diet. How can it help me lose weight?

The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been shown to be effective in helping people lose weight. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing them with fats, the body is forced into a metabolic state called ketosis, which results in fat burning instead of carbohydrate burning. This means that you will likely experience increased energy levels, improved mental clarity, better sleep quality, and reduced hunger. Additionally, research suggests that following a ketogenic diet may also reduce inflammation, improve cholesterol levels, and even protect against certain cancers.
