Ketogenic Diet
There are a lot of fad diets or weight loss programs that exist, but one that has sparked the
nation with its results is the ketogenic diet or “keto”. “According to the research lead by Ali

obtaining nutritional value from foods that are high in fats such as avocado, bacon and cheese.
Although these foods are high in fat, they are healthy fats. The benefit of the body using fat as
