"The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits." The main focus of this diet is to reduce your carb intake drastically and replace it with more proteins and high-fatty foods.

There is a difference between good fat and bad fat and it is important to know what foods to stay away from because they will not be beneficial.

Foods that are high is good-fat are avocados, nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts), healthy oils (coconut oil, vegetable oil), fish (salmon, tuna, trout), etc. Other foods that you should eat, while on this diet are eggs, chicken, turkey, steak, sausage, cheese, butter and creams.

You want to increase your fat intake because your body burns fats more efficiently than carbs. The carbs sit in your body and are not burned to benefit your body.

There are four different versions of the ketogenic diet.

1. "Standard ketogenic diet (SKD): This is a very low-carb, moderate-protein and high-fat diet. It typically contains 75% fat, 20% protein and only 5% carbs."

2. "Cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD): This diet involves periods of higher-carb refeeds, such as 5 ketogenic days followed by 2 high-carb days."

3. "Targeted ketogenic diet (TKD): This diet allows you to add carbs around workouts."

4. "High-protein ketogenic diet: This is similar to a standard ketogenic diet, but includes more protein. The ratio is often 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs."

Although there are different types, the one that has been studied the most and is the known to work, is the standard ketogenic diet.

Doing a low-carb diet is more effective and has shown more effective results than a low-fat diet.
