Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet is an extremely low carbohydrate, moderate protein and high fat diet (LCHF). Every person responds differently, so the amount of carbohydrates consumed can vary from 20g-50g (sometimes less, sometimes more), depending on each individual, in order to maintain a state of ketosis. Due to the diets restrictive nature, it is quite difficult for many people to follow, and therefore they lack the ability to enter into ketosis and produce ketones.
The goal of the Keto diet is to become Keto-Adapted. Keto adaptation means that you have shifted your metabolism to relying on fat-based sources, instead of glucose (sugar) sources, as your primary source of fuel. Your body increases fat oxidation, and breaks down fats into ketones to be used as the primary energy source. Watch Dr. Berg explain Ketosis and the Ketogenic diet
THE HISTORY OF THE KETO DIET
Fasting and other dietary regimens have been used to treat epilepsy since at least 500 BC. To mimic the metabolism of fasting, the ketogenic diet (KD) was introduced by modern physicians as a treatment for epilepsy in the 1920s. For two decades this therapy was widely used, but with the modern era of antiepileptic drug treatment its use declined dramatically. By the end of the twentieth century this therapy was available in only a small number of children’s hospitals. Over the past 15 years, there has been an explosion in the use, and scientific interest in the KD. Read more

Science & Research Supporting Ketones and Ketosis
There are over 100 years of research on the benefits of having an elevated state of ketones in your system, better known as Ketosis. Until recently the only way to achieve ketosis was through a strict diet called the Ketogenic diet or Low-Carb- High Fat (LCHF) diet. The diet has proved to be extremely beneficial for fat loss, increased energy, improved mood, reduced brian fog, improved performance, muscle preservation, and so much more.
