Keto is the common term used to describe the ultra-low carbohydrate ketogenic diet. This diet focuses on the consumption of high fat, moderate protein, and very little carbohydrates, in the following ratio 70-80% fat, 10-20% protein; and about 5-10% carbohydrates.

For people diagnosed with coeliac disease a strict gluten free diet is required to be maintained for life. The option to adapt a keto diet to also be gluten free can easily be made and may be suitable for people with coeliac disease who want or need to lose weight. Talk to your dietitian or health professional for advice on whether this might be a good option for you.
