About a third of the worlds population is overweight or obese. This is clearly sad because being overweight or obese exposes us to all manner of health risks some of which  include type II diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and much more. Think of the current prevalence of obesity as a ticking time bomb for a third of the worlds population and you will get a good feel of just why this is saddening. If it were something like HIV/AIDs, flu and any other disease, there would be a public outcry but we somewhat seem to have gotten used to the problem.

The Ketogenic diet seeks to reverse this problem by recommending a significant reduction of carb intake coupled with the intake of high amounts of fats and moderate amounts of proteins. The reason for doing that is to push the body into a metabolic state referred to as ketosis. You do this by starving the body of carbohydrates so that it can make the most use of the available dietary fat (what you take in your diet) and body fat, which the body burns when the available dietary fat is not enough to fuel its different processes.

Ketogenic diet comes with a plethora of benefits and can be a key contributor in ensuring optimum health and weight loss in the long run.
