What is the keto diet and what to eat it with?
Keto is a type of diet in which food rich in proteins and fats is consumed, while the amount of carbohydrates is reduced to 50 g per day. For understanding, 50 g is about 4 slices of bread. This diet is also called LCHF (law carb high fats). A typical keto nutrient ratio is 70-80% fat, 10-20% protein, and 5-10% carbs. For comparison, the proportion of carbohydrates in a normal diet is about 45-50%.
By the way, this diet is very old. It has been used for 50,000 years. But it was restored only recently by Dr. Atkins for the treatment of epilepsy.

Who Should Avoid the Keto Diet?
Pregnant and lactating women. They need to get all the right amount of nutrients. And therefore pregnancy is not a time for experiments.
Diabetics (allowed only under the supervision of a doctor). Since this type of food especially affects the level of glucose, people with diabetes should be especially careful. For those who have low insulin, the diet can worsen its work due to the accumulation of ketones
People with liver and kidney diseases. If you have liver problems, a large amount of fat can make these problems worse. The kidneys help the body process proteins. And such a diet can greatly overload them. According to WHO, it is recommended to consume no more than 46 grams of protein per day for women, and 56 grams for men. On keto, a person consumes 74 g of protein daily.
People with high cholesterol or impaired metabolism. Including, the course of the diet is affected by the level of vitamins and nutrients. With deficiencies, this diet is contraindicated.
We also warn that it is necessary to consult a doctor in case of unwanted symptoms. If you experience nausea, dizziness, and irregular menstrual cycles while on a diet, this is a sign that the diet should be stopped. Also, if convulsions occur in different parts of the body, this indicates electrolyte disturbances. Then it is also necessary to consult a doctor immediately.
