You’ve probably heard about the keto diet by now. The popular diet trend (also known as the low carb diet) works by producing ketones in the liver to be used as energy. When glucose is in short supply, it looks for alternative fuel for the body, thus burning body fat.
But as with any diet, it can be difficult to find meals that you won’t get sick of. So we rounded up 10 keto-friendly meals that you can whip up. The best part? All you need is a Crock-Pot and you’re game.
