Ketogenic Diets

Meaning

Ketogenic Diets are specific nutritional protocols strictly defined by a very low intake of dietary carbohydrates, a moderate and controlled consumption of protein, and a high reliance on dietary fats for energy. This unique macronutrient ratio is strategically designed to induce a profound metabolic state termed ketosis, where the body fundamentally shifts its primary reliance for energy from glucose to the production and utilization of ketone bodies. Clinically, these diets have demonstrated utility in the management of certain refractory neurological conditions and for broader metabolic health optimization.
