    high-fat, low-carb diet shifting metabolism to fat-derived ketones

    The Ketogenic Diet, often referred to as the Keto Diet, is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan designed to shift the body's metabolism from relying on glucose for energy to using ketones, which are produced from fat. This metabolic state, known as ketosis, can lead to significant weight loss and has been studied for its potential benefits in managing conditions like epilepsy, type 2 diabetes, and certain neurological disorders.
