The correct answer is
With the ketogenic diet, you eat a low-carbohydrate, moderate-protein, high-fat diet. People like this diet because they get to eat "forbidden" high-fat foods, such as bacon cheeseburgers, steak, cheese omelets, and butter. But by limiting fruits and vegetables, you may not get the vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients you need. Talk with your healthcare provider before starting any diet.
