I get it—the ketogenic diet has taken a lot of heat lately. It’s not the first choice for most people these days, but that doesn’t mean it’s without merit. It played an essential role in weight loss and health when options were limited, and for certain people, it can still offer real benefits.

Lately, I’ve noticed a wave of criticism about the ketogenic diet in my Facebook groups and conversations with colleagues. But I stand by the idea that it has its place.

So, let’s dive into what the ketogenic diet is, how it functions, and its advantages and drawbacks. I’ll also talk about who might find it beneficial. You might have given it a try or know someone who has. It’s a diet that comes and goes in popularity, but its value is worth a closer look.
