What is the Ketogenic Diet?
---------------------------

Ketogenic diet is high in fat, adequate in protein and low in carbohydrates. Generally, the macronutrient ratio varies within the following ranges:

60-75% of calories from fat (or even more),
15-30% of calories from protein, and
5-10% of calories from carbs.

The exact amount of fat and protein is a matter of individual goals, needs and activity levels. Typically, most people on ketogenic diets don't consume over 5% of calories from carbohydrates.

In most cases, people following a keto diet won’t need to count calories. However, as they approach their ideal weight and their weight loss stalls, calorie counting can be helpful for fat loss.
