Everything Parmesan Crisps

This week’s episode is all about the ketogenic (keto for short) diet. This is a super low-carb, high-fat diet people typically use for weigh loss. It was originally used to treat children with epilepsy, and is used today among people who want to reach ketosis… a state in which the body burns fat stores for energy. The diet includes:

Avoiding - sugar, grains, starches, fruit, beans and legumes, root vegetables, low-fat foods, condiments with sugar (e.g. ketchup), alcohol, sugar-free diet food

Eating - meat, fatty fish, eggs, butter, cream, cheese, nuts, seeds, healthy oils (e.g. olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil), avocados, low-carb vegetables (e.g. broccoli, onions, greens), herbs, and spices
