8 recipes for keto

Eloísa Carmona

Inducing ketosis means triggering a metabolic process in which the body breaks down fats and converts them into ketones, which serve as an alternative fuel source produced by the liver from stored fat. Therefore, this type of diet requires reducing carbohydrate intake while fully embracing fats, especially saturated fats from oils (like coconut oil), lard, and butter, for example. You can also include proteins, whether they are lean proteins or those high in saturated fats, such as beef, pork, and bacon. This selection of recipes for achieving ketosis includes various proteins and even a way to enjoy enchiladas without the carbohydrates, so feel free to take advantage of them if you're following a keto diet guided by a healthcare professional; you can also check out our Keto Challenge where there are complete keto menus for 7 days.
