Keto Recipes To Try If You’re Looking To Start The Diet

The keto diet has gained significant popularity within recent years. Not only are celebrities swearing by it but doctors are actually backing this lifestyle change, to a degree. Many people swear by keto recipes and say this was the one diet that gave them the weight loss they were always seeking.

The keto diet is short for “ketonic”, it’s a diet aimed at completely changing eating habits. This diet significantly reduces the daily intake of carbs from a recommended 45 to 65 percent down to 5 to 10 percent. Meaning it’s important not to eat more than 50 grams of carbs a day, although many eat no more than 20 grams of carbs. That is a dramatic diet change, that alone can make the keto diet not only intimidating but significantly difficult to follow. A lot of everyday foods have hidden carbs, and the keto diet is all about avoiding them. Which is why having an arsenal of keto recipes is important. Below are a few keto recipes that will help kickstart the keto diet. They’re easy to make, provide leftovers, and most importantly are delicious.

Below are a few simple and actually delicious keto recipes. This diet is rigorous and hard to follow, and it’s definitely recommended to begin it with your doctor aware of what you’re doing. In an interview with Huffington Post Dr. Nancy Rahnama, a board-certified doctor of internal medicine, said this diet works for quick and successful weight loss.

As always it’s important to discuss lifestyle changes with doctors before changing eating habits drastically to ensure nothing goes wrong.
