Diet fetishes have always taken a special place in the lives of actors and actresses, who wish to look a certain way on the silver screen. Among all other categories of diets, Keto has been a comparatively newer trend. A Keto diet consists of consuming items that are high in fat, moderate in their protein and involves a very low percentage of carbohydrates. Called as a low-carb diet in simple language, it helps the body to start deriving energy from proteins and fats, instead of quick absorbing carbohydrates. It mostly aims to lose weight, but it also helps to relieve from certain other medical conditions as well. Most importantly, it is advisable to carry out the Keto diet for a short duration only.
