Excessive weight is one of the most common problems of the modern civilization. An increasing proportion of regular jobs require very little or almost no physical activity, and in most cases people don't have nutritional habits in accordance with this way of life, and therefore accumulation of unnecessary weight is often the result. A common problem is also a large number of bad habits, which many people don't even realize they have. However, by reading these pages about ketogenic diet, you will probably encounter at least a few habits that you did't know they had such a big impact on your body.

Excess weight can also be the cause of many diseases and disorders. Some of these diseases are heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, and even some types of cancer.
