Tag: Ketogenic ratio

According to research published by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, a standard ketogenic diet consists of approximately 70–80% fat, 10–20% protein, and 5–10% carbohydrates. The best fat to protein ratio for keto is not one-size-fits-all, as it depends heavily on an individual's specific health objectives, whether for weight loss, muscle maintenance, or therapeutic purposes.

First introduced for treating epilepsy in 1921, the 4:1 keto diet is an extremely high-fat, very low-carb dietary therapy. It represents the strictest ratio in classic ketogenic diets, requiring precise calculation and monitoring, and is primarily used under medical supervision.
