Foods You can Eat on the Keto Diet
Keto based diet from the FHALL Low Carb Kitchen
Considering the keto diet to shed those extra pounds? If that's the case, one of the first things you need to get to grips with is what foods you can eat!
The keto diet is high in fat and aims to change your metabolism from carbohydrate to fat. This means you will burn fat using ketones as energy instead of glucose. The advantage is that eating a keto diet will help prevent insulin levels from spiking when you eat, and your metabolism is not in fat-storing mode. Therefore, your liver produces ketones, and your energy source is not glucose-dependent.
After a few days on a keto eating plan eating 70-80% fat, 15-25% protein, and around 5-10% carbs), your metabolism will increase and you will begin to lose weight. It is best to focus on eating 'good fats' on keto, which are unsaturated and monounsaturated.
