Keto Diet
What Is A Keto Diet?
The keto diet (short for ketogenic diet) is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carbohydrate eating plan that shifts your body into a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body burns fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates, which can accelerate fat loss.
In a healthy Indian keto diet, typical carb-heavy foods like rice, roti, and sugar are avoided. Instead, the focus is on protein-rich and fat-rich foods such as:
•🥚 Eggs
•🧀 Paneer
•🥛 Curd (Dahi)
•🍗 Chicken and lean meat
•🥥 Coconut oil, ghee, and nuts
A sample keto-style healthy Indian breakfast may include paneer bhurji with ghee, or eggs fried in coconut oil.
For lunch, you can have grilled chicken with sautéed vegetables, and for dinner, try palak paneer with curd or meat cooked in butter.
While this diet helps in fat loss, it can also be adapted for muscle gain if planned with a mild calorie surplus and proper workout or gym workout support.
