7 Keto-Friendly Vegetables

What is a ketogenic diet?

A ketogenic diet, or simply keto diet, involves eating foods low in carbohydrates but high in fat. This combination causes your body to produce a ketone known as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Ketones can be an alternative metabolic fuel, but if your body doesn’t have enough glucose to use it, it taps into fat stores for energy in a process called ketosis. Many celebrities live on a ketogenic diet because it can assist with weight loss, control blood sugar, and may help ward off diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Unlike other diets, you can consume a variety of healthy foods that are also nutritious. Check out these 7 ketogenic friendly vegetables below.
