The ketogenic diet endeavors to alter the metabolic fuel source utilized by the body. Rather than relying on glucose derived from carbohydrates, such as grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits, the ketogenic diet promotes ketone bodies as the primary energy source. The liver produces ketone bodies as a result of fat metabolism. This dietary pattern has gained popularity because of its purported benefits, such as weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and reduced risk of certain diseases. The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate-protein diet that requires careful planning and monitoring to achieve and maintain a state of ketosis, wherein the body burns fat for energy.
