The keto diet is currently trending worldwide, offering a unique high-fat, moderate protein and low-carbohydrate formula to those trying to lose weight. Personal-trainer-to-the-stars Jono Castano explains, “on the keto diet, you need to restrict your carb intake to just 20–50g a day. By doing this, your body is forced to switch from burning glucose to then producing ketones from fatty acids in the liver, which will result in weight loss and keto energy from ketones. When
combined with the correct training program, keto has helped clients and myself lose weight fast”.
