"For meat lover, keto diet is for you. The keto diet is just about eating unlimited amounts of bacon, pork chop, and cheese. Keto also known as the ketogenic diet. It is a way of eating that allows the dieter to enter a state of ketoacidosis - your body is breaking down stored protein into molecules called ketones that are released into your bloodstream and flushed out in your urine. In order to get into this metabolic state, the diet consists of high-protein and very low fat foods. Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions: hair loss and epilepsy."

Answer 1

Answer : "For meat lover, keto diet is for you. The keto diet is just about eating limited amounts of bacon, pork chop, and cheese. Keto diet also known as the ketogenic diet. It is a way of eating that allows the dieter to enter a state of ketosis - your body is breaking down stored fat into molecules called ketones that are released into your bloodstream and flushed out in your urine. In order to get into this metabolic state, the diet consists of high-fat and very low carbohydrate foods. Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions: diabetes and epilepsy."

Keto diet is the low carbohydrate high fat diet. In this condition, the glucose uptake will drastically reduced and replaced with fat. So insulin production also reduced.

1. In keto diet, bacon, pork chop, and cheese (protein rich foods) are good food items but only in limited amount. Because, if we take more protein than our body needs during a keto diet, gluconeogenesis (Glucose formation) occurs and some of the amino-acids will turned in to glucose. It will cause problems on ketogenic diet.

2. In ketogenic diet carbohydrate uptake will be very low. This low uptake of carbohydrate puts the body in to a metabolic condition, called ketosis. Ketoacidosis is a diseased condition when diabetic patients follow ketogenic diet. Some instants, high ketone level in urine is an indication of ketoacidosis.

3. Metabolism of fat yields ketones.

4. In keto diet high fat is favorable with low carbohydrate. Medium protein is also favorable.

5. Keto diets have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions. Against diabetes, cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease.
