  The ketogenic diet, often shortened to keto, has become one of the most talked‑about approaches to nutrition and weight loss in recent years. At its core, the keto diet is a low‑carbohydrate, high‑fat eating plan designed to shift the body’s metabolism away from relying on glucose and toward burning fat for energy. For beginners, this concept can seem both exciting and intimidating.

Here's a comprehensive guide to help you stay within your limits while enjoying a variety of foods. Understanding Carbohydrates on Keto Carbohydrates are the body's default energy source, but the keto diet focuses on lowering carbs so that fat becomes the primary fuel.
