i am on a keto diet.
[{"role": "system", "content": "The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function. However, if there is little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. An elevated level of ketone bodies in the blood, a state known as ketosis, leads to a reduction in the frequency of epileptic seizures. Almost half of children, and young people, with epilepsy who have tried some form of this diet saw the number of seizures drop by at least half, and the effect persists even after discontinuing the diet. There is some evidence that adults with epilepsy may benefit from the diet, and that a less strict regimen, such as a modified Atkins diet, is similarly effective. The most common adverse effect is constipation, affecting about 30% of patients\u2014this was due to fluid restriction, which was once a feature of the diet, but this led to increased risk of kidney stones, and is no longer considered beneficial.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ever followed the ketogenic diet before?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "ketogenic diet is a high fat low carb diet"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yep, so a lot more meat and less pasta and bread."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yea, the ketogenic diet is very strict about high protein and fats and nearly no carbs"}, {"role": "user", "content": "It seems pretty easy to follow, I really like meat a lot more than I do carbs."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yea same, the diet forces the body to burn fat rather than carbs"}, {"role": "user", "content": "It really does work too, which makes it a great option for weight loss."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yea normally carbs contained in food get burned but if you dont eat it the body has to burn fat"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes a lot of sense, I really never knew why it was so effective."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yea the ketogenic diet is a very effective diet for weight loss with high fat and low carbs"}]
