I've heard there's a new diet craze called the ketogenic diet. What is it?

The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been used to treat epilepsy and other neurological conditions. It involves drastically reducing your carbohydrate intake and replacing them with fats and proteins. This forces your body into a metabolic state known as ketosis, where it burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy.
