The ketogenic diet, or "keto" diet, is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that can help you lose weight. It works by changing the way your body uses energy. Normally, your body uses carbohydrates for fuel. When you eat a very low-carb diet, your body breaks down fat into molecules called ketones, which it can use for energy. This state is called ketosis.  

There are many potential benefits to the keto diet, including weight loss, reduced appetite, and improved blood sugar control. However, it is important to note that the keto diet is not for everyone. It can be difficult to follow and may cause side effects such as fatigue, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies.  

If you are considering trying the keto diet, it is important to talk to your doctor first. They can help you determine if the diet is right for you and can monitor you for any potential side effects.

I would also like to add that there are many different ways to follow a ketogenic diet. Some people follow a very strict version of the diet, while others follow a more moderate version. It is important to find a version of the diet that works for you and that you can stick to in the long term.  

If you are struggling to lose weight on your own, you may want to consider working with a registered dietitian. A registered dietitian can help you create a personalized meal plan that meets your needs and goals.
