The ketogenic diet has been used for decades as a treatment
for epilepsy and is also being explored for other uses. It involves
reducing carbohydrate intake and upping fat intake. It sounds contrary to
common sense, but it allows the body to burn fat as a fuel, rather than
carbohydrates. Healthy fats, such as those in avocados, coconuts, Brazil nuts, seeds, oily
fish, and olive oil are liberally added to the diet to maintain an overall
emphasis on fat.
