The ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet that encourages the body to produce ketones.
Initially, the keto diet was developed for individuals with epilepsy and similar seizure disorders. In the 1920s and '30s, the ketogenic diet was used as one of the cornerstones of the treatment of epilepsy in children. According to research, these molecules have the potential to manage seizures with their powerful anticonvulsant effects.
Today, the ketogenic diet has made a comeback as one of the most popular diet trends of the modern age. Since hitting the mainstream market, the keto diet has seen unprecedented popularity. It's front and center as one of the most effective weight loss strategies we've seen in the last 30 years.
While being an effective diet should be reason enough for its popularity, there are a few other things about the keto diet that make it stand out in a sea of hyped-up weight loss strategies.
The fact that the keto diet doesn't tell you to eat less fat makes it controversial - a factor that has led to the development of its cult following.
We're conditions to think that more fat in your diet should make us more fat, but something about the way the keto diet works produces the opposite results. With such an uncommon mechanism, the diet strategy piqued the interest of hundreds of thousands of dieters, blasting it off towards worldwide popularity.

On the surface, there are a few things about the ketogenic diet that are generally known to most of those who've heard of it - whether or not they've tried the method themselves.
For instance, the ketogenic diet:
- doesn't focus on caloric intake or metabolism
- encourages more fat consumption
- satisfies hunger and keeps you feeling full for longer
- works for most body types
These snippets aren't new. In fact, most of those who try to sell the idea of the keto diet will weigh down on these points to get their message across.
While it's all good and well to know what the ketogenic diet does, it's doubly important to understand how the keto diet does it.
Sure, not everyone can be a physiology expert, and certainly, not everyone wants to be. But, understanding how the diet works will make it easier to pattern choices throughout the process, to support this weight loss strategy's unique physiological mechanism.
