Everything you need to understand the ketogenic diet from the ground up.
The ketogenic diet works by dramatically reducing your carb intake and increasing healthy fats, which pushes your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. In ketosis, your liver converts fat into ketones that fuel your brain and muscles instead of glucose.

Confused about keto? This no-nonsense guide walks you through what to eat, what to avoid, and exactly how to start burning fat for fuel — without the overwhelm.
Most people stay in ketosis at 20–30 grams of net carbs per day. Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols. Starting at 20 grams gives you the best chance of reaching ketosis quickly; you can slowly experiment upward once you're adapted.
The keto flu is a set of temporary symptoms — headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and cramps — caused by your body shedding water and electrolytes as it adapts. It usually passes within 3–7 days and is easily fixed by drinking more water and replenishing sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
