In short, Ketogenic Diet is a “High Fat, Low Carbohydrate” food. It is NOT the same as regular “Low Carb High Protein” diet. The nutrition intake for Ketogenic diet can be described by this pie chart below.





How Does Keto Work?

Normally, our body use glucose as a primary energy source (comes from digested carbohydrate) However, if you do not eat or fasting, the body will adapt and switch the energy source to your stored fats. This is what we called “Ketosis” state. The body will now begin to breakdown fats and produce “Ketone” to be used instead of glucose.





You might wonder why our body didn’t use fats/ketone at as an energy source at the first place? It because glucose is much easier to produce and convert into energy. Producing Ketone, however, are more complicated chemical process and so our body decided to go for glucose first.

This is reason Ketogenic diet is invented to simply reducing the carbohydrate intake to be as low as possible and overload the fats to keep your body in Ketosis state without fasting.
