Ketogenic Diet: A Comprehensive Guide to Fats, Carbs, and Ketones


Question
WHAT IS KETOGENIC DIET?

Answer
Hello TJohnny,

he Ketogenic Diet is a high-fat, low-protein and low-carbohydrate diet. It is a stringent, mathematically calculated eating plan that, when followed conscientiously, produces a by-product called ketones. The diet has been in existence since the 1920s, when it has been considered a breakthrough in treatment of intractable childhood epilepsy but was usurped by synthetic medications in the 1950s.

We adapted the ketogenic principle to make it easier for dieters to comply with and intruduced what we named Fat burning Index:
