What the Heck is Keto Anyway?

Before we jump into the scrumptious recipes, let’s break down what the keto diet is all about. The ketogenic diet, or keto for short, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that puts your body into a state of ketosis. In this magical state, your body becomes a fat-burning machine, using fat for fuel instead of those pesky carbs. Think of it as your body’s way of saying, “Bye-bye, bread; hello, bacon!”

The Keto Basics: What to Eat and What to Avoid

Keto-Friendly Foods:

• Healthy Fats: Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, and butter. Yes, butter! Your taste buds will thank you.
• Protein: Think meats, fish, eggs, and cheese. Who doesn’t love a good steak?
• Low-Carb Veggies: Spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. They’re like the sidekicks to your main dish!

Foods to Avoid:

• Sugars: Sorry, cupcakes and candy bars, you’re off the menu.
• Grains: Bread, pasta, and rice are now the enemy. But don’t worry, we’ve got alternatives!
• High-Carb Fruits: Bananas, grapes, and apples are a no-go. Stick to berries in moderation.
