What You Need to Know Before Starting a Keto Diet

‍ Image Source: FreeImages‍ What Is a Keto Diet? A ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet that changes the metabolism of your body. The goal is to get your body to use fat as its main source of energy instead of glucose (sugar) from carbohydrates. This process is called ketosis, and it happens when your body is starved of carbohydrates and glycogen (the main source of energy for muscles and the brain). The body then releases chemicals that break down fat and make it usable as energy. Basically, your body turns fat into fuel.
