Keto diet helps to destroy excess fat thoroughly
Cutting carbs to a minimum helps you lose weight quickly.
The principle of the Ketogenic diet is that you must reduce the amount of starch to a minimum, about 30 - 50 g/day (equivalent to 5% of total food intake). This causes the body to burn all the stored glucose. Then, if it wants more energy to function, it is forced to switch to the fat burning mechanism, from there, you will lose weight faster.

In the standard Ketogenic diet, the exact ratio is 5% carbs, 20% protein, and 75% fat. There are also some other variations, such as:
- Cyclical Ketogenic Diet: consists of 5 days of standard Ketogenic eating, followed by 2 days of "compensation" with a high amount of carbohydrates.
- Flexible Ketogenic diet: allows you to increase your carbohydrate intake if you participate in heavy exercise.
- High-protein Ketogenic diet: with a ratio of 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% starch.
