Ketogenic Diet

Fat Loss & Energy Boost

The Ketogenic Diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan designed to shift the body's metabolism into ketosis. In ketosis, the body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, making it an effective strategy for weight loss, improved energy, and better mental clarity. The diet primarily consists of healthy fats, moderate protein, and minimal carbohydrates. This diet is commonly used for weight management, blood sugar control, and even as a therapeutic approach for neurological conditions like epilepsy. Staying properly hydrated and maintaining electrolyte balance is crucial to avoiding the "keto flu" when transitioning into ketosis.
