I've been hearing a lot about the keto diet. What is it and is it healthy?

The ketogenic diet is an extremely low-carb, high-fat diet that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrates and replacing them with fat, protein, and other nutrients to induce a state of ketosis. This can be achieved through fasting or by eating very little carbohydrate-rich foods such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. The goal of this diet is to promote weight loss and improve overall health by creating an environment where your body burns fat instead of glucose for energy.
