- Weight loss: The keto diet can help people to lose weight by forcing the body to burn fat for energy instead of carbohydrates.
- Improved blood sugar control: The keto diet can help to improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
- Reduced risk of heart disease: The keto diet can help to reduce the risk of heart disease by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
- Improved brain function: The keto diet may help to improve brain function in people with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders.

There is also some evidence that the keto diet may help to improve other health conditions, such as acne, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and epilepsy.
