Ketogenic Diet

A carbohydrate-restricted diet used specifically to push the body into ketosis, often with blood ketones monitored to confirm the effect. In the mental-health use case, the protocol aims for measurable ketone levels rather than just “eating low carb,” because ketosis is thought to provide a stronger therapeutic metabolic shift for mood and related symptoms.
