Unless you’ve been living under a rock—or somewhere else without the internet—chanes are you’ve heard somebody rave about the keto diet. Keto is short for “ketogenic,” and the whole goal of the diet is to have your body produce ketones in the liver to be used as energy. The way this is thought to happen is by focusing on low-carb, high-fat foods. If you follow this diet, keto enthusiasts claim your body will begin to burn ketones as the primary energy source, and you’ll lose weight. I know—you’re probably thinking that a restrictive diet that boasts such big results has to be inedible. Not so! While keto restricts the number of carbs you can eat, there are a ton of creative and delicious recipes out there. Case in point? These 12 delish keto recipes that won’t leave you feeling deprived.
