Your guide to the ketogenic diet

If you're searching for a popular diet plan, look no further than the most Googled diet question of the new year: "What is keto?"    Keto is short for the ketogenic diet, a low carb diet plan that also encourages eating high amounts of fat and moderate amounts of protein.    The goal of the ketogenic diet is to burn fat for energy rather than carbohydrates, resulting in weight loss. Healthy fats, such as avocado and olives can be central components of the diet in addition to non-starchy vegetables, nuts and seeds and sources of protein like fatty wild fish, eggs and chicken. Coconut oil and full-fat dairy such as hard cheese may also be included.    Follow the link to find out the side effects of keto and whether this type of eating plan is safe.  Get the story!
