Although the ketogenic diet was originally developed as a treatment for serious neurological diseases such as intractable epilepsy, it has rapidly become more popular due to its health benefits. Those who follow the keto diet generally lose weight and build muscle mass quicker and with far less effort. Coconut oil is the optimal choice for keto dieters because it is low in carbohydrates and is also considered to be highly ketogenic. Also, the medium chain triglycerides found in coconut oil are transformed directly into ketone bodies in the liver. These ketones have been found to increase energy, increase weight loss, and contribute to solid overall health.
