In this first episode of The Wellness Breakdown Season 2, Rose sets Eve the challenge of following a Ketogenic (aka Keto) diet.

The Keto diet is very popular at the moment for weight loss but actually it was originally developed for use in clinical settings for patients with epilepsy and with really rather remarkable effects. The overall premise of the diet is very high fat with low to moderate intake of protein and very low carbohydrate like around 10-20 grams per day.

The rules: Eve has to follow the Keto diet for 2 weeks adhering to a ratio 70-80% fats, 5-10% carbohydrates and 10-20% protein which roughly equates to 165g fat, 40g carbohydrates and 75g protein.

With Keto becoming big business and foods made especially for this way of eating, we examine this craze and find out it's benefits or not. Is it really just another fad diet and a chance for brands to make a quick weight-loss buck?

Listen to find out how Eve copes with this amount of fat, see if Keto clarifies her mind and what happens when she walks by her local bakery!
