I've been hearing a lot of buzz about the keto diet. What exactly is it and is it a good way to lose weight?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that has been used for decades as a treatment for epilepsy in children. It involves drastically reducing carbs, replacing them with healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and fatty meats, and increasing your protein intake. This helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce inflammation, and ultimately lead to weight loss.
