Forget the stereotypes about diets and get ready for a revolution in the way you eat. The keto diet, also known as the LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) diet, focuses on eating foods high in fat and low in carbohydrates.
Keto diet restricts carbohydrates to less than 10 % total calories per day while shifting focus to protein and fat. Ketosis, the body's natural process triggered during this diet allows the breakdown of fats and the production of ketones in the liver.
We have prepared a detailed menu for you for 7 days, which includes delicious meals such as bacon and burger. The keto diet allows you to reach your weight loss goals without feeling hungry or restricted from eating.
