“The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates.” – the definition of the worldwide known diet – the Keto diet.

The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it allows the body to produce small fuel molecules called “ketones.”⁵ This is an alternative fuel source for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply.
