What Is the Keto Diet
The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan designed to shift the body into ketosis, a state where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.
What to Eat on Keto
Focus on whole foods such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, healthy oils, and non-starchy vegetables. Limit grains, sugar, starchy vegetables, and most fruits. For a detailed food list, see the Mayo Clinic guide on ketogenic diets here.
How to Start Eating Keto
Begin by reducing daily carbs to roughly 20 to 50 grams, increase fat intake, and keep protein moderate. Track meals, drink water, and monitor how you feel. Consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have existing health conditions.
