"Well, sort of. Surely, you’ve seen us cover the keto diet before, but if you need a refresher—the diet is based on transitioning your body into ketosis, where you’re running on very few carbohydrates (less than 50g), eating a lot of fat and some protein in order to burn fat. Once your body uses up leftover glucose stores (from carbs you ate), it takes the fatty acids from the fattening foods you’re eating and turns them into ketone bodies in the liver. The brain uses these ketones for energy. (This process usually takes about a week.) Some research says eating this way can reduce inflammation in the body (and brain), and many ketoers anecdotally say that they feel more energized and focused while in ketosis. More peer-reviewed and long-term research is needed."
