The popularity of the ketogenic diet continues to grow in the health and nutrition space. Characterized by high fat intake, a moderate amount of quality protein, and low carb consumption, keto leverages a process called ketosis to fuel the body's energy needs instead of relying on carbohydrates and the glucose they provide. This leads to the use of stored fat as fuel which is the reason for the high-fat component of this approach versus a more traditional macro split.
