The Keto Diet (Ketogenic Diet) is a high fat, low carbohydrate with immense health benefits.
You like myself may think, ok well I need to get rid of fat so why a high fat diet?. Coconut,
avocado, fatty fish are some examples of fatty foods, which promotes cell growth and the
absorption of nutrients. As a result studies have shown that the overall of the Keto Diet
helps in health improvement and weight loss, (get this results here, Ketogenic Diet for
Obesity: Friend or Foe?).
WHAT IS USED IN THE KETO DIET PLAN?
Upon my examination and use of the Keto Diet is that most of the foods used were easily
available to me since I am from the tropics and can grow my garden year round. My
produce were most potent cause I grow soley organic.
COCONUTS
2.
This one in my opinion is one of wonder when it comes to health benefits. I truly prefer this
wonder food raw fleshy, crunchy, sweet and very filling. Coconut/oil is also used in cooking
and making salads and shakes, used as a hair moisturizer and skin oil. Coconut/oil is one of
the high fat foods which are high in antioxidants, help reducing some risk factors in heart
disease and lowering blood sugar just to name a few. {more info 5 Health and Nutrition

Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein. More than half the protein
of an egg is found in the egg white, which also includes vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat
than the yolk. Eggs are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as
zinc, iron and copper. www.bbcgoodfood.com.

Ahhhhhh sweet chocolate, which is a delicious source of antioxidants. These are tropically
grown.
I get these raw, my kids and I enjoy sucking the seeds and then put them to dry, then I would
roast, pound them with my local spices till they are sweaty and roll them in a stick, then my
local chocolate tea is made. I cannot begin to tell you how beautiful this drink is.
