The Ketogenic Diet: Short-Term Weight Loss & Medical Management (Under Guidance)
The Ketogenic Diet (“Keto”) is a high-fat, very-low-carb eating plan designed to shift your body into ketosis – burning fat for fuel instead of glucose. Originally developed for treatment-resistant epilepsy, it’s now popular for rapid weight loss, requiring strict medical supervision.
How It Works:
-
⚡ Extreme Macronutrient Shift: Very high fat (70-80%), moderate protein, and very low carbs (under 5% of daily calories).
-
🔥 Induces Ketosis: Forces the body to produce ketones from fat as its primary energy source.
-
🧠 Neurological Origin: Proven effective for managing drug-resistant epilepsy by altering brain metabolism.
Ideal For (Under Professional Care):
-
Individuals with treatment-resistant epilepsy (primary medical use).
-
Those seeking significant short-term weight loss.
-
Patients under strict medical/nutritionist supervision.
Key Strengths (✅):
