In the past few years, the ketogenic diet, also known as the “keto diet,” has taken the weight loss world by storm. The keto diet stands out from other diet plans because, on the keto diet, adherents aren’t asked to restrict food intake in the same way other diets require. In fact, aside from carbohydrates, which must be limited, the keto diet actually encourages eating more. The theory behind the diet’s success lay in the fact that bodies deprived of carbs will turn to other sources to create and burn energy.
