5 Keto Recipes That Anyone Will Love

This diet consists of 80% fat, under the belief that the human body will burn fat rather than its usual energy source-carbs. Pasta, rice, potatoes and fruits are expressly forbidden in a ketogenic diet. Instead, dieters fill their stomachs with meats, eggs, cheeses, oils and dairy.
