Abstract
Ketogenic diet is a new trend to approach for fast weight loss which claims to be high fat, low carbohydrate and moderate protein diet. ketogenic diet involves the formation of ketone bodies that provide energy to the body instead of carbohydrate. However, in other diets the energy is mainly derived from the carbohydrates.

The purpose of this article is to help and understand the mechanism with which the ketogenic diet helps in weight loss and compare it with high carbohydrate diets from clinical perspectives.

Key words: Ketogenic diet, ketogenesis, Carbohydrates restricted diet, weight loss.
