Summary:
- The cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD) is a type of low-carb, high-fat diet that involves alternating between periods of ketosis and higher-carb intake.
- During the low-carb phase, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs.
- The higher-carb phases are used to replenish glycogen stores and provide the body with more energy for physical activity.
