A ketogenic, or keto, diet is an eating pattern that sharply limits carbohydrate and gets a large share of its energy from fat, with protein also included. It aims to increase the use of ketones for fuel. Harvard Health explains how a ketogenic diet works.
How is keto different from simply eating less sugar?
Keto concerns the overall balance of carbohydrate, fat and protein across your diet. Choosing one food described as keto does not establish what the rest of your eating pattern contains. Read the ingredients, portion size and nutrition information of individual products when deciding what fits your needs.
Is keto suitable for everyone?
A restrictive eating plan needs individual consideration. Talk with a qualified clinician or dietitian before starting a ketogenic diet, particularly if you have a medical condition or take medication. The Harvard Health overview discusses potential risks. If you have diabetes, your treatment and diet should be discussed with your care team; the NHS diabetes treatment guidance explains why major dietary changes need care.
What to check on a food listing
- Read the stated pack size and the amount you plan to eat.
- Check whether nutrition figures apply to a serving or the whole pack.
- Ask about ingredients and allergens before ordering if the listing does not answer your question.
