The Ketogenic Diet (Keto Diet) has become a Silicon Valley fixation and the diet du jour, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Halle Berry claiming that it keeps them trim and healthy. By eliminating most carbs (even fruit!) and embracing fat, you can lose weight without feeling hungry! This is because a decrease in carbs causes your body to enter a metabolic state known as ketosis. Your body becomes very effective at burning fat for energy when this happens. It also causes fat to be converted to ketones in the liver, which can be used to provide energy to the brain. The Keto Diet has also been found to lower blood sugar and insulin levels significantly. This, combined with the increased ketones, offers a number of health advantages.
