What is the difference between a ketogenic diet and a low-carb diet?

A ketogenic diet is a specific type of low-carb diet that aims to induce ketosis by severely restricting carbohydrates and increasing fat intake to about 70-80% of total calories. A general low-carb diet, on the other hand, allows for a moderate amount of carbohydrates and does not necessarily aim for ketosis. Both diets focus on reducing carb intake but differ in their approach and strictness.
