We all know cutting back on carbs can be beneficial when trying to lose weight, but who knew eating more fats could be too? The Ketogenic diet, or Keto diet, consists of low-carb and high, healthy-fat foods and has been regarded as one of the best “fad” diets for weight loss. Eating this way puts the body in a state of “ketosis” where more fat, rather than sugar, is burned. According to nutritionist Dr. Josh Axe, “This state results in consistent, fairly quick weight loss until your body reaches a healthy and stable weight.” If you’re looking for inspiration to take up this diet, here are a few Keto recipes that actually taste good.
Low-carb, homemade tortilla chips piled high with seasoned ground beef, guacamole made from healthy-fat avocados, and sour cream.
Eggs are not only a great source of protein but they're also filled with omega-3 fatty acids. This eggs benedict recipe includes healthy-fat avocados, Keto-friendly buns, and a savory Hollandaise sauce.
Frittatas are similar to quiche but without the extra carbs from the pie crust. Asparagus, fingerling potatoes, red onion, and red peppers give this egg-based dish a healthy serving of vegetables.
If you love deviled eggs, you'll love this variation with avocados! This quick and easy recipe only requires five ingredients!
