The keto diet is a low carb diet that requires replacing carbohydrates and replacing them with a high-fat intake diet. When you reduce the intake of carbohydrates with your food intake, your body can go into a metabolic state. When your body is in a metabolic state, it burns fat more efficiently then it does when eating adding carbs in your diet. Your body turns fat cells from your food into ketones inside your liver when in this metabolic state.

These ketones help supply energy for the brain which can make you more alert and effective in your daily activities. Adopting a keto diet can also reduce your blood sugar and insulin levels simultaneously with other health benefits, such as:

1. What is Ketosis?
Ketosis is a normal process that naturally unfolds when your body doesn’t have any or enough carbohydrates to burn for energy. Instead of burning carbs, it burns the fat and turns it into a substance called ketones.

2. Weight loss
When you cut carbs from your diet, it can be very effective in losing weight. There are studies out there that show and chart people who are steadily on low-carb diets lose weight from their body more rapidly than people who are on low-fat diets. The weight loss that mainly takes place is because low-carb diets are known to get rid of excess water from your body.

3. Reduces insulin and blood sugar Ketogenic diets are known to be helpful for people who are diagnosed with diabetes and have insulin resistance. There are health studies that have proved that cutting back on carbs can effectively lower both your blood sugar and insulin levels in your body. Although, if you do take blood sugar medication or have any other diabetic needs that require a medical practitioner, make sure you talk to your doctor before trying this specific diet.

3. Clear mind And brain
Ketogenic has been discovered to increase cognition and enhance memory in adults people who have been impaired, specifically in the areas that deal with brain cognition and memory.
Even people who don’t have mental impairments have reported that their mental clarity and focus has improved and their migraines have become less intense and less frequent. All these positive symptoms may be due to there being stable blood sugar in the system of the body.

4. Additional keto benefits
Other things that this diet can help with include improving overall sleep quality, decreases inflammation ( this improves acne, arthritis, eczema, and more), helps fight certain types of cancer, prevents heart disease, lowers blood pressure, helps kidney function properly, helps eye-sight, reduces risk of cataracts, and helps gain muscle.
