3.2. Keto
The Keto diet is a diet for weightloss that focuses on avoiding the intake of carbohydrates to a point where the body goes into a state of ketosis. Ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose from carbohydrates. This occurs when the body does not have enough glucose for energy, so it turns to burning stored fat. It is said to be beneficial for weight loss, improved energy levels, and other health benefits. Unlike other low-carb diets Keto diet does not promote a high intake of protein-rich foods.
