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 shown to be effective in treating epilepsy and other neurological disorders. It involves drastically reducing your carbohydrate intake and replacing them with fat. This type of diet is also known as a Low Glycemic Index Diet (LGI). The goal of the LGI diet is to keep your blood sugar levels stable by avoiding foods that are quickly digested and absorbed into the bloodstream.
