The goal of a low carb, ketogenic diet plan is to achieve a metabolic state called ketosis. Ketosis is simply a normal metabolic process in which the body cells burn fragments of fats called ketones instead of glucose for fuel.
Ketosis is a beneficial process and helps the body survive during times when no food is available. It has also been shown to improve disease conditions such as epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer's, cancer and others.
This is a list of products that contain minimal or no carbohydrate intended for use with the ketogenic diet. The ingredients have been provided by the manufacturer. Some manufacturers will not provide specific carbohydrate content therefore the ingredients are used as a guide.
