Abstract: The ketogenic diet, a non-pharmacotherapy, simulates the state of fasting to induce the liver to metabolize fatty acids into ketones as fuel source. It also possesses anti-inflammatory effects and impacts the occurrence and progression of various diseases among which is polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Ketogenic diet effectively manages body weight, improves ovarian function, regulates metabolic disorder, and enhances mental health. The growing body of evidence substantiates the safety and efficacy profile.
