Keto diets are successful vehicles for initial weight loss. They allow fish, seafood, low-carb vegetables (forget potatoes or carrots), cheese, meat, poultry, eggs, plain yogurt, and fats. You will forgo fruit, grains (bread and pasta), legumes and anything with added sugar.  On a standard ketogenic diet, calories are made up of 75 percent fat, 20 percent protein, and 5 percent carbohydrate. Most American diets have a higher carbohydrate percentage, even when structured health consciously, to avoid excess calories and fats. This post will explore the Keto Diet.
