Dieting has long been a popular choice for people wanting to lose weight, whether that be just a little bit or a lot. But as long as there have been diets, there have also been critics about whether they actually work and it’s no different for a new diet that has taken the diet world by storm.
You might have heard the word ‘Keto’ being thrown around on social media recently but many people may not fully understand exactly what it means. The Everyday Health website explains the diet as being ‘based on the principle that by depleting the body of carbohydrates, which are its primary source of energy, you can force the body to burn fat for fuel, thereby maximising weight loss.’
Under this diet foods like potatoes, bread, pasta and anything that contains high amounts of sugar are not allowed, and while that seems like a lot there is actually lots you can still eat. Most vegetables are perfectly fine and the more the better on keto. And cheese lovers can go all out as the high fat content is perfect.
