Question: Ketogenic Diets

Answer: A ketogenic diet restricts carbohydrate intake to less than 25 to 50 grams per day in an attempt to enhance tissues to use fat or ketones (acids produced by the liver) as fuel during caloric restriction. Ketogenic diets typically recommend that only 5% of calories come from carbohydrates, along with 75% from fat and 20% from protein.
