#1: What is Ketogenic diet?

The idea of the keto diet is to teach your body how to consume fatty acids(fats) for fuel instead of glycogen(carbohydrates). Basically we stop consuming carbohydrates to let the brain searches for another source of energy which is the fatty acids in our body. During these few days the body will consume all the glycogen stored in our muscles which will let the brain signals the liver to break the fatty acids into particles called ketone bodies. which can be metabolized by urine and exhalation.
