Here's a list of 5 keto recipes within 500 calories & cooking instructions

The ketogenic diet’s increasing popularity is largely due to its potential benefits for weight loss and blood sugar control but we need to remember that the body runs on carbohydrates so prolonged period of keto diet can be toxic to the body and increase acidic levels in the blood.

While some people on keto count their total carb intake, others count net carbs. Net carbs refer to total carbs minus fiber. That’s because fiber is indigestible, so it can’t be broken down and absorbed by your body. But we prefer counting calories as total kind keep macros estimate clear.
