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.
