Over the years, researchers have found that there are many benefits to choosing the ketogenic diet. There was initial speculation that the diet would cause a cholesterol buildup in the body, therefore leading to heart disease due to the high-fat content of the food that people on the diet could consume. However, as more experts have looked into the diet, they have found that there are inherent advantages to beginning this type of diet. For one, the body is able to utilize fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. The body will therefore not rely on carbohydrates, since there is such a low amount entering the body, and will thus be able to store ketones - the fats - for later energy use.

Another benefit is the fact that the body will not be as hungry, so people on the ketogenic diet are at a lower risk of falling off their regiment by snacking. The ketogenic diet encourages the consumption of various protein-rich food, which works to curb hunger. The body goes into the state of ketosis - which is common among those who fast regularly - and therefore does not require a lot of food to keep it going. What better way than to be on a healthy diet and not have constant hunger pangs?

Finally, the health benefits offered by the ketogenic diet are remarkable. People who follow it completely eliminate starchy carbohydrates, such as breads and pastas, and substitute them with non-starch vegetables, such as broccoli, asparagus, carrots, and many others. These kinds of vegetables are packed with vitamins and nutrients that support a healthy body and are also much lower in calories. In addition to aiding those who suffer from illnesses such as epilepsy, the diet is also recommended for cancer patients. As research has shown, cancer cells flourish in areas of the body where there is a lot of glucose, which is what carbohydrates become. If the body consumes less carbohydrates, there will be less glucose, and subsequently the cancer cells will not be able to grow and thrive.
