I've been hearing a lot of buzz about a new diet called the ketogenic diet. What is it?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been used to treat epilepsy since the 1920s. It involves drastically reducing your carbohydrate intake and replacing them with fat. This forces your body to use fat as its primary source of energy instead of glucose (sugar). This can lead to weight loss and improved health.
