Understanding the Ketogenic Diet

What is Keto?

A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that shifts your body's primary fuel source from glucose to ketones.

Ketosis

A metabolic state where your body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, producing ketones.

Macronutrient Ratios

Typically 70-80% fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates by calories.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ketogenic diet?

How many carbs should I eat on keto?

Most people on keto aim for 20-50 grams of net carbs per day. Net carbs = total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols. The exact amount varies based on individual tolerance and goals.

What is ketosis?

Ketosis is a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. This occurs when carbohydrate intake is very low, and the liver produces ketones from fat breakdown.
