I've been hearing a lot about the keto diet lately. What is it and is it safe for me to try it?

The keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that has become popular in recent years. It is intended to help people lose weight by forcing their bodies into a state of ketosis, which means they are burning fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. This can be beneficial because fats contain more calories per gram than carbohydrates do, so you can eat more food while still losing weight. However, some people may experience side effects such as nausea, constipation, headaches, and fatigue when following this diet. It's important to talk to your doctor before starting any new diet or exercise program.
