How Keto Works & Macro Ratios
The Ketogenic (Keto) diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. When you eat very few carbs, your body produces ketones for fuel, entering a metabolic state called ketosis.
Standard Ketogenic Diet (SKD) Ratios: Typically, a keto diet consists of:
• Fat: 70-75% of calories
• Protein: 20-25% of calories
• Carbs: 5-10% of calories (usually 20-50g net carbs)
