ketosis state

The ketosis diet tries to get the body to use fat for energy instead of sugar. It also helps reduce the chance of epileptic seizures in some children.

Low protein

Since a ketosis diet is very high in protein and very low in carbs it is not something you'll want to do long term unless absolutely necessary for medical reasons. One of those medical reasons for going on the ketosis diet is to treat epilepsy as it helps prevent seizures in children.

It's a ketogenic diet, one that is low in carbohydrates to influence the body to burn fat (ketosis). However, this type of diet can increase the cholesterol levels of some users.
