Ketogenic diet and low carb

The ketogenic diet (keto) and low carb eating are diets that limit carbohydrates. A ketogenic diet is usually very low in carbs and high in fat, and the body then switches to using ketone bodies as fuel, a state called ketosis. Low carb is a broader term for diets with a reduced, not necessarily extremely low, amount of carbohydrates. The archive collects sources that discuss keto, low carb, ketosis and fat as a fuel source.
