CHRONIC DISEASES AND KETOGENIC DIET – AN OVERVIEW
Abstract
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are transformed into glucose, which is then transported around the body. The low carbohydrates intake forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet has been shown to generate beneficial metabolic changes in the short-term. Along with weight loss, health parameters associated with carrying excess weight have improved, such as insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides.
