Typically Meat-Heavy Keto Diet Is Going Vegetarian

By now, you’ve probably heart of the ketogenic, or “keto,” diet.

It’s a very restrictive regimen of low carb, high fat foods with some similarities to the Atkin’s diet.

But what if you don’t eat meat? Now, a plant-based keto is catching on.

That’s right, keto is going vegetarian.

Typically, when we think of the wildly popular diet, we think heavy on the protein and animal fats, making it appealing to meat eaters.

The strict combination of “low carb, high fat, high protein” will force the body into a state of ketosis, meaning it burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy. The end result: You can lose more weight, faster.

Enter the ketotarian diet, which is now a refangled version of the ketogenic diet. Avocados, olive oils, nuts and olives… are your fat choices in ketotarian.
