Ketogenic Diet for Weight Loss

While ketogenic diets have long been used to control epileptic seizures in children, they have also been used in recent years to achieve weight loss. The ketogenic diet emphasizes high fat intake in conjunction with moderate levels of protein and low amounts of carbohydrates. While studies have shown clear success in controlling epileptic seizures, fewer data are available regarding the diet's efficacy as a weight-loss plan, although some results show promise.
