The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan that shifts your body into ketosis—a state where your body burns fat for energy instead of carbs.

Eat more healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts, butter)
Moderate protein intake (chicken, fish, eggs, beef)
Limit carbs (leafy greens, cauliflower, zucchini)

To reach ketosis, most people stay under 50 grams of carbs per day.
