The ketogenic, or keto, diet is focused on foods high in fat and low in carbohydrates.

The diet’s proponents say it is the best way to lose weight without feeling hungry and that it increases energy levels. Keto followers also say that even with cutting carbohydrates to the equivalent of one slice of white bread per day, as the diet calls for, opportunities for delicious meals abound.
