I've been hearing a lot about the keto diet. What is it and how does it work?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan that has been used to treat epilepsy since the 1920s. It involves drastically reducing your carb intake while increasing your fat intake. This forces your body to switch from using glucose (sugar) as its primary energy source to burning fat for fuel. This can help you lose weight quickly and improve your overall health.
