The More You Know
Keto eating focuses on low-carb, high fat intake (similar to the ever-popular Atkins diet). When you drastically cut back on carbs, your body goes into a metabolic
state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat and supplying energy to the brain. A keto way of eating can also cause significant
reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels, which is why it's often recommended for folks suffering with diabetes or pre-diabetes.
