I've been hearing a lot about a new diet called the ketogenic diet. Is it a healthy way to lose weight?

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been shown to be effective for weight loss in some studies. It is also known as a "keto" diet because it involves eating a high amount of fat and very few carbohydrates. This can help to reduce insulin levels which helps to promote weight loss. However, there are potential side effects associated with this type of diet such as constipation, fatigue, and nausea. So it's important to consult with your doctor before beginning any diet plan.
