WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

The ketogenic diet (often calledketo) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins.It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat.When your body switches to burning fatfor its primary fuel source, that’s when you hit ketosis.

While on the Keto diet you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from fat, 15 to 25 percent from protein, and 10 percent from carbohydrates. You’re supposed to avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

FAQs

What is the secret to non soggy enchiladas? ›

To prevent your tortillas from tearing or becoming soggy, quickly fry each corn tortilla in any oil you like for about 10 seconds on each side, until it starts to get crispy but is still pliable. This will add a barrier that will keep the tortilla from absorbing too much sauce, and also adds a little extra flavor.
