POPSUGAR Fitness Here’s How Many Carbs You Can Actually Have on the Keto Diet If you’re thinking about trying the ketogenic diet you’ve likely already started thinking about the foods you’re going to have to restrict in order to successfully lose weight. The keto diet is a low-carb high-fat diet in which the body produces ketones in the liver to use as energy in place of of carbohydrates. This state is called ketosis to describe the presence of ketones a chemical produced when the body burns stored fat.
