The Keto diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet designed to induce a state of ketosis in the body. Ketosis occurs when the body shifts from using glucose as its primary energy source to using ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fats. The diet typically includes a very low intake of carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein, and a high intake of healthy fats.
