How Keto Diet works?
The key with any keto diet is to trigger the process called ketosis. It’s actually a process to force your body to utilize the excess fat as energy instead of using any carbohydrates.
On the contrary the logic should be anything that is high on fat or protein but low in carbs can be considered as a keto food, since that will trigger the ketosis process.
