The keto diet, short for the ketogenic diet, is a very low carbohydrate, high-fat diet. It may seem relatively new, but it has been used in medicine for about 100 years to treat epilepsy. In the 1970s, it gained popularity as a weight-loss diet by Dr. Atkins. The Atkins diet starts with a strict ketogenic phase. The ketogenic diet has gained even more popularity today for its many potential health benefits. In addition to epilepsy management and weight loss, research shows the keto diet may protect against diabetes, cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, and several neurological diseases.
