Nowadays Keto has become one of the most popular
diets to lose weight and get healthy.

per day so that that body can burn its own fat for energy.

As you can see there are a great range of delicious foods you can eat on a ketogenic
diet to boost your health.
We recommend eating a high amount of salad
and cruciferous vegetables every day to boost your potassium levels.
These provide a large amount of plant based
nutrients which are needed to help the body during weight loss.
Cooked vegetables lose some of their nutrients
when heated, so it's important to eat plenty raw vegetables.
We recommend eating lots of kale, watercress,
broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, spinach, beet tops, asparagus and arugula.
When eating meat, try to look for high quality
grass fed animal products, as these contain more nutrition.
Always check the labels on foods and avoid
foods with added MSG (monosodium glutamate) as this is made from corn starch and will
slow down weight loss
