The ketogenic diet was created in 1920 by Dr. Henry Geyelin, an endocrinologist who used this diet to treat epilepsy. In 1921, Dr. Geyelin discovered that the foods in this diet provide numerous health benefits and had positive effect on the ability of the body to process nutrients which resulted in less attacks in the patients. The keto diet is similar to the Atkins diet.
The Atkins diet actually starts with the ketogenic diet. The main principle of the keto diet is reducing carbohydrates and replacing them with protein and healthy fats. We are going to give you a 7 day meal plan of the ketogenic diet.
