Ketogenic diet has low carbohydrate, adequate protein and high fat diet that offer many health benefits. The keto is a very low carb diet that turns the body into a fat burning device. The keto diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.

In general, body transfer the carbs and protein into glucose and the excess glucose gets converted into fats. But, in case of keto diet, the body is deprived of carbs & proteins. No alternative has been left for the body but to utilize fat as energy source. Since fat cannot be converted into glucose, it is converted into ketone molecule and the process of conversion called as ketosis. Keto Diet is designed specifically to result in ketosis, and it is even possible to measure and approach the ketone level for weight loss, mental & physical health and overall performance of the body. The ketogenic diet is similar to the other low carb diet like Atkins diet or LCHF (low carb and high fat) diet.

When ketosis process takes place, ketone molecules are used for energy source instead of sugar & carbohydrates. This process helps the body to burn the stored fats and loses weight. When you follow keto diet, it offers many health benefits like weight loss, health, performance, increased physical endurance, mental focus, epilepsy, and more.
