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

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has become popular in recent years for weight loss and improved health. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing them with fat, while increasing protein intake. This can cause your body to switch from burning glucose (sugar) as its main energy source to burning fat instead. This can lead to increased energy levels, better blood sugar control, and reduced hunger.
