On a ketogenic diet, people eat a very small amount of carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein and a large proportion of fat per day. This means that the body uses fat as its main source of fuel and breaks it down into ‘ketone bodies’ (or ‘ketones’) in a process called ketosis. People on a keto diet usually eat only 20–50g of carbs per day. As an example, 50g of carbohydrate is equivalent to 2 slices of bread and a banana. Carbs make up about one tenth of daily kilojoule intake in a ketogenic diet (a kilojoule is a measure of how much energy we get from food). This means the person’s body stays in a constant state of ketosis. Evidence shows that the diet may be suitable for some people with certain medical conditions but should not be used for the general population, or as a long-term diet.
