Keto Diet | Community Health

The keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that has been used for weight loss and therapeutic benefits, particularly in the treatment of epilepsy. Developed by [[russell-wilder|Russell Wilder]] in the 1920s, the diet has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential benefits for weight loss and improved blood sugar control. Proponents of the diet, including [[dr-jason-fung|Dr. Jason Fung]] and [[gary-taubes|Gary Taubes]], argue that it can be an effective way to manage weight and improve overall health.
