The ketogenic diet was initially used to treat epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in its application in the treatment of obesity due to its proven efficacy and its positive effect on overall health. It is a diet that induces a state of ketosis in the body that mimics the physiology of fasting. These diets have a common characteristic of low carbohydrate intake. There are several distinctions in fat and protein intake, but may be a keto diet of moderate or high fat and high or high protein content. Regardless of the range of combinations of the distribution of macronutrient ratios in each case, the formation of ketosis is a prerequisite. The purpose of this research is to investigate the nutritional knowledge of Ketogenic diet coupled with the degree of compliance with the particular diet, regardless of their subject matter and their degree of specialization in nutrition. The survey involved 67 people aged 18-62, who were asked to respond to anthropometric measurements and biochemical examinations. The majority of women surveyed were women. The main reason for starting the keto-wound is weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. Most follow a high fat, low carbohydrate and moderate to high protein diet where the image is matched to a ketogenic diet plan. The results were very satisfactory in terms of the degree of satisfaction of individuals with psychological and mental factors in relation to the causes of food intake; individuals are predominantly in an age group experienced and despite the side effects, obstacles and limitations that may encounter choose this particular food model very faithfully. Nutritional compliance and information on the keto diet model are mainly applied by women with an average age of 46 years and a BMI of 23.5 kg / m2 and belong to (10%) where they monitor lipidemic / biochemical markers. The percentage of the keto-nutrition sample is very small and has a global perception of body health at that time. These results help to identify and highlight the nutritional and non-nutritional factors that are likely to be more intoxicated by reduced awareness and nutritional compliance around the ketogenic diet.
