Starting with the keto diet

When you start the keto diet, your body may initially have some difficulty switching from sugar burning (from carbohydrates) to fat burning. Until recently, you maintained a system where you mainly consumed carbohydrates. And as soon as your carbohydrate energy stock ran out, your body signaled you with ‘hunger!’. By following the keto diet, you will notice that you have much less frequent hunger and less desire for sugary and sweet foods.

What’s in the quick keto recipes?

Regarding keto, you can speak of a full-fledged ‘kitchen’ in the abundant range of recipes. There is a wide selection of quick ketogenic breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, and dessert recipes. These recipes contain more fat than protein and are very low in carbohydrates. This makes these recipes suitable for effectively following a ketogenic diet. In keto eating, the ratios are 70% fats, 25% proteins, and only 5% carbohydrates. Of course, taste has also been taken into account with all the recipes, and they leave nothing to be desired. What do you eat during the day?
