Keto diets have taken off over the past decade, but the diet itself has been around for much longer. Prior to 1920, before the discovery of insulin, doctors regularly prescribed the Keto diet to diabetic patients. Doctors at Johns Hopkins University found the low-carb, high-fat diet reduced seizures in patients with epilepsy. One of the big benefits of going Keto is it keeps blood sugar levels stable after a meal.
What is ketosis? Ketosis occurs when the body's metabolism shifts to using fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. The results are fast, steady weight loss. Want to discover more about the popular Keto diet and if it’s right for you? Try this fun quiz!

Keto is taking on the global obesity epidemic
Obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) of over 30, is a worldwide epidemic especially found in developed countries. While obesity leads to heart disease, a higher risk of stroke, high blood pressure, Type II diabetes, and other conditions, the Keto diet quickly reduces bad cholesterol and insulin resistance, increases good HDL cholesterol, and chews up fat cells like a Roto-Rooter. Doctors have successfully prescribed the Keto diet for acne and those with neurological issues, including dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cancer, and various metabolic disorders.
