I have read a few posts about Keto Dieting and as I love butter and many mention it I am intrigued.

Can anyone tell me about Keto?

Thanks so much

    Keto is what I'm doing :smile: it's a very low carb, usually under 20 grams per day, with moderate protein and high fat. So, around 5% of your daily intake it carb. 25% is protein. 70% is fats. Similar to Atkins in the way that it is low carb but the fat intake is different than how Atkins works. With keto, you are training your body to use and burn fats instead of carbs or proteins. It's backwards from how we've typically been taught to think about fat and eating but, it really does work well and fairly quickly.
