I've heard a lot about the ketogenic diet. What is it?

Ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that helps to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes and epilepsy. It is also used as an effective weight loss tool. The diet typically consists of 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbohydrates. This ratio is meant to mimic the body’s metabolic state during fasting, when the body burns mostly fats for energy.
