The goal of this pilot intervention is to learn about how a well-formulated ketogenic diet (WFKD) impacts various health factors in generally healthy adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Establish whether an 8-week isocaloric, WFKD improves body composition and metabolic biomarkers in adults without chronic disease. * Examine changes in transcriptomic sequencing pathways pre- and post-WFKD intervention. * Explore gut microbial changes in adults without chronic disease that consume a WFKD. Participants will follow a well-formulated ketogenic diet for 8-weeks. Study procedures include: * Weekly body weight tracking * Daily urinary ketone assessment * Pre/post stool samples for gut microbiota analyses * Pre/post DXA scans * Diet quality tracking through 3-day food records
