Recently, a new weight loss method has quietly become popular in the weight loss circle, that is, the ketogenic diet. Does it sound very high-end? In fact, to put it bluntly, the ketogenic diet is a diet that combines extremely low carbohydrates with a medium amount of protein and high fat. This diet changes the human body's energy metabolism pattern, that is, through an extremely low-carb diet, the level of glycogen stored in the liver and muscles decreases, causing the body to enter a special "ketogenic state", making more use of the body's fat and ketone body function. The ketogenic diet can reduce appetite, thereby playing a role in weight loss.

Many celebrities also practice this weight loss method, the representative of which is Christy Chung. She announced on Weibo that she and her family went to Koh Samui, Thailand a few years ago and drank coconut oil every day for 11 consecutive days to lose weight. Of course, most fans criticized her unhealthy way of losing weight, which shows that people now have a certain understanding of scientific weight loss methods and will not blindly follow the trend.

The concept of ketogenic diet originated in the United States. It was originally used to treat epileptic seizures, and later it was used to study the prevention and treatment of brain tumors. Because when treating epileptic patients, it was found that patients who followed the ketogenic diet lost weight, so this diet method gradually developed into a weight loss method.
