Essentially it is a low-carb and high fat diet, which is somewhat similar to Atkins Diet, which is also another popular diet plan. In layman’s terms, your body starts relying on the stored fat for energy when your carb intake is reduced drastically. The sudden reduction in carbs puts your body in a metabolic state called Ketosis, and that is what forms the basis of Keto Diet.
The purpose of this is to bring your body into this metabolic state so that it starts burning fat, and obviously the result is weight loss.
As this type of diet showed impressive results, dietitians and other experts came up with various versions of Keto diet to suit different needs, weight loss effects, affordability and lifestyles.
