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.

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.
