A keto diet, also known as ketogenic diet, is a low-carb, gluten-free, high-fat nutrition program that improves the overall functioning of the human body. In theory, it invites you to drastically reduce the consumption of carbohydrates like bread, cereals, pasta and grains, sweets, snacks, milk, yogurts, fruits, vegetables, and alcoholic drinks. Simultaneously, the keto diet replaces these ingredients with fat, so that your body enters a metabolic state known as ketosis, providing additional energy to the brain in the form of ketones.
