Keto-Friendly Recipes
for weight loss
The ketogenic diet, or keto for short, is a very low-carb diet that’s high in fat
and moderate in protein. It’s similar to other grain-free and low-carb diets,
like paleo and Atkins, and calls for eating meats, dairy, eggs, fish, nuts,
butters, oils, and non-starchy vegetables.

Replacing most of the body’s carbohydrate intake with fat causes it to be


better at burning fat for energy. Usually, cells use blood sugar — which
comes from carbohydrates — to create energy. But when there are more
ketones (fat molecules) in the blood than blood sugar, the body will burn
stored fat instead. This metabolic state is called ketosis.

The diet isn’t new. It’s actually been used for centuries as a treatment for
children with epilepsy whose seizures weren’t responding to medication.
You see, studies

Trusted Source

have shown that the keto diet is effective for reducing seizures. Because of
this, researchers believe it may also have positive benefits for other
neurological conditions, like autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple
sclerosis, traumatic brain injuries, and brain tumors.

But keto is most popular for its weight loss benefits. The diet is often used
to help control hunger and boost weight loss in people who are obese. It
may also help with blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.

Whether you’re looking to try a keto diet for the first time or add new dishes
to your routine, these recipes have you covered.
