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

The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that has been shown to be effective for weight loss and managing diabetes. It involves drastically reducing your intake of carbohydrates, while increasing your intake of fat, such as from sources like avocados, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds. This type of eating plan helps to put your body into ketosis, which is when your body burns fat instead of carbs for energy.
