I've been hearing a lot of buzz about the keto diet. What is it, and is it safe?

The ketogenic diet is an eating plan that focuses on high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrate intake. It's designed to help people lose weight by forcing their bodies into a state called ketosis. Ketosis occurs when your body produces more ketones than it needs for energy, which can lead to weight loss. However, some people may experience side effects such as fatigue, nausea, constipation, and headaches while in ketosis, so it's important to talk to your doctor before starting this diet.
