A ketogenic diet, or keto, diet is a low carb diet where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy. By lowering your intake of carbs, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis, a process that the body initiates to help us survive when food intake is low. During this state our body produces ketones produced from the breakdown of fats in the liver, and burns ketones as the primary energy source instead of carbs.
