What is Keto Diet?

The ketogenic diet widely known as the ‘keto diet’ is a low-carb, high-fat diet with numerous health benefits. The keto diet according to studies lowers your risk for certain diseases and helps with weight loss.

Going on a keto diet allows you to consume healthy fats to keep your body in a state of ketosis (breaking down carbs or junk food or excess protein).

When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy to the brain.

You need quality fat of about 60-70% of your diet as a ketogenic eater. Do you want to get rid of those carbs?

The keto foods listed below contain healthy fats and oil that are great for the body.
