What is the ketogenic diet

 1. Ketogenic diets are high fat diets that tend to reduce your carbohydrate intake and increase your consumption of fats like coconut oil and butter. This can help improve your overall health due to its effect on cholesterol levels.

 2. Ketosis is a metabolic state where our bodies consume ketones instead of glucose for energy. When we do this, we enter ketosis.

 3. How does this benefit us?

 The reason we use these particular foods is because they will make our body easily go into ketosis. In other words, if we eat certain foods, our bodies will get into ketosis faster without even trying.

 4. What are some of the side effects/risks?

 Ketosis can cause headaches, fatigue, bad breath, and diarrhea. However, once again, these side effects should not last very long. If you have any concerns about going into ketosis, speak with your doctor first.
