What is the Keto Diet?
The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat eating plan that forces your body to burn fat for energy. It’s been around since the 1920s and has been used as a weight loss tool by many people over the years.
The benefits of this type of diet are numerous: you’ll feel more satiated after meals, have more energy throughout the day (even when you’re fasting), and may even experience better sleep quality at night! It can also help with Type 2 diabetes because it lowers insulin levels in your body which can lead to better blood sugar control.
The drawbacks? Well…you’ll probably need to give up some foods you love for life–like bread or pasta–but there are plenty of substitutes available if you look hard enough!

- Low Carb Options at Popular Sit-down Restaurants
When you go to a sit-down restaurant, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the number of options on the menu. But don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to stay keto at your favorite chain restaurants. Here are some suggestions: - Chipotle: Order a bowl with no rice or beans and double meat (or even triples). Add guacamole if you’re feeling fancy!
- Panera Bread: Order any salad without dressing or croutons, then add chicken or salmon for extra protein. If you want something warm, order their soup in place of bread–it comes in both creamier varieties like broccoli cheddar and more brothy options like tomato basil bisque (which is delicious).
