You've probably heard about the keto diet; it's a popular way of eating that has helped people torch fat and lose weight. The diet, which is high-fat, moderate-protein, and super low-carb, is pretty restrictive — you're only supposed to eat 50 grams or fewer of carbs a day — but it has exploded in popularity.
On the keto diet, you eat so few carbs that your body goes into a state of ketosis where it starts burning fat for fuel instead of glucose. And while this can lead to weight loss, it also comes with its own set of complications. We've broken down the biggest pros and cons of the keto diet according to dietitians, doctors, and other experts. Thinking of going keto? Be sure you scroll this list and check with your doctor first.
