2. What is the keto diet?

You could read more about it in the February issue of Santé. The keto diet is not entirely new. It was invented as early as 1920 to prevent epileptic seizures. It is one of the few diets where you can continue to eat well. For example, your diet consists of twenty percent carbohydrates and proteins and eighty percent fats. So you can go wild on steak or eggs with bacon, but the trick is to choose healthy (unsaturated) fats. For example, think of avocado, olive oil, nuts and oily fish. Since your body no longer gets energy from carbohydrates, you automatically start burning fat. In other words:your body goes into ketosis.
