Abstract

The ketogenic diet is a diet that is based on a high level of lipids and low levels of protein and carbohydrates in meals (FERREIRA, 2022). This diet was first reported in 377 BC by the physician Hippocrates in Ancient Greece, this type of meal was used to treat cases of epilepsy (FERREIRA, 2022). Then there was a long period of disuse and later this diet began to be used again around 1900 for the treatment of cancer and various other diseases (GONÇALVES, 2019).
