After years of being restricted to therapeutic nutrition in hospitals, the ketogenic diet (also known as the keto diet) has resurfaced as one of America's hottest diet trends. The diet was developed in the 1920s to treat childhood epilepsy, and due to its remarkable success rate— people on a keto diet have 30% to 40% fewer seizures—it is still used in that field today. 3
But what about its utility for the general healthy population looking to improve their fitness or get more out of life? Let's take this ultra-low-carb, high- fat diet piece by piece. 4
How Does the Keto Diet Work? The ketogenic diet is extremely high in fat (about 80% of daily calories), extremely low in carbohydrates (less than 5% of calories), and moderate in protein (typically 15% to 20% of calories). This is a significant deviation from the commonly recommended macronutrient distribution of 20% to 35% protein, 45% to 65% carbohydrates, and 10% to 35% fat. 5
The keto diet's most important component is a natural and normal process known as ketosis. Normally, our bodies function extremely well on glucose. When carbohydrates are broken down in the body, glucose is produced. It's a very simple process, which is why it's the body's preferred method of energy production. When you cut back on carbs or fast, your body searches for alternative sources of energy. Typically, fat is the secondary energy source. 6
When your blood sugar drops due to a lack of carbohydrate intake, fat is released from your cells and floods the liver. The liver converts fat into ketone bodies, which your body uses as its secondary energy source. 7
