Is the Keto Diet and Nutritional Ketosis the Same Thing?

Wide Variety of Barbecued Meats: Hot dogs, steak, chicken kabobs, and pork chops
What's the Difference Between
the Keto Diet, Nutritional Ketosis,
and the Atkins Diet?
Recently, a reader asked me if a low-carb diet was a Keto Diet. They were greatly confused about what a Keto Diet was and hoped I could clear up the confusion for them.

Over the past few months, many of the thought-leaders within the low-carb community have latched onto the word “keto” and are using it as a synonym or nickname for the state of ketosis or for a ketogenic diet in general. This has caused a lot of confusion among low-carb dieters, especially since many health professionals have also begun using the terms “keto” and “ketogenic diet” to represent the more popular low-carb programs, such as:
  • Nutritional Ketosis
  • Atkins Diet
  • Protein Power Lifeplan
When speaking of keto or ketogenic diets, these people are simply referring to the same low-carb high-fat plan they have always supported. They are not talking about anything new.

While there is nothing wrong with what people within the low-carb community are doing – a low-carb diet by definition is ketogenic since it causes ketones to be created by the liver – the low-carb, high-fat diet that has been linked to the word “keto” recently is NOT the Ketogenic Diet that I talk about on this blog.

The Keto Diet is something completely different.
