Best keto-friendly snacks
Don't know much about the keto diet? Well, for starters, it's
extremely popular and a favorite of celebs like LeBron James, the Kardashians and Halle Berry. Search #keto on Instagram and you'll find a whopping 20 million posts. And unlike a lot of diets, it's relatively simple. The emphasis is on trying to eliminate carbohydrates and replace sugary foods with protein, nonstarchy vegetables and healthy fats.
It comes with plenty of benefits, too. Los Angeles-based clinical nutritionist and expert in keto diets Juli Keene has worked with celebrities and professional athletes and has found keto to be a tool, rather than a diet, for enhancing top-level performance for athletes. "We are using keto, in this case, to help their bodies become more fat-adapted and metabolically flexible so that they are able to last on the field or court much longer than their competitors," she says.
