What is the keto diet?
So what is the keto diet and how does it actually work? The plan aims to shift the metabolic state of the body.
Usually the body uses carbohydrates as its main source of fuel. Most people eat a carbohydrate-heavy diet to sustain themselves.
However, by eating a low-carbohydrate diet with more fat it is possible to switch the body’s main source of fuel to fat.
This state is called ketosis, and it is very effective at burning fat in the body, causing weight loss.
Eating fewer carbs also helps to reduce water retention, making dieters feel lighter and slimmer.
