The ketogenic diet is incredibly popular as it allows you to eat all your favorite foods.
Eating keto swaps out high-carb, low-fat foods – the real culprit of weight gain, and replaces them with high-fat foods.
Cheese, bacon, meat and eggs are all on the menu, as well as many more delicious high-fat foods.
The ketogenic diet not only helps you lose weight quickly and easily, but it can also DRAMATICALLY improve your health.
But don’t dismiss it as just another fad – the ketogenic diet was developed in the 1920’s and continues to gain popularity.
Health Benefits of the Ketogenic Diet
The ‘keto’ diet was originally developed for the treatment of epilepsy, where it’s proven very effective.
And the results keep rolling on in…
Besides epilepsy, this astonishing diet also benefits diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s.
Best of all, the ketogenic diet is simple and straightforward.
It won’t involve a complicated diet plan or hours of fruitless labor in the kitchen.
What is the Ketogenic Diet?
In a nutshell, the ketogenic diet is high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates.
And by drastically reducing carbohydrates, your body adapts and burns fat instead.
They not only burn fat, but they become incredibly efficient at burning fat!
Perhaps the most welcoming news of a diet high in fat, is that you’ll likely lose weight without experiencing hunger.
So, if you’ve been blinded by the agony of ineffective diet plans or feel that you can’t succeed without superhuman tenacity…you may want to consider the ketogenic diet.

12. Keto Breakfast Pepper Rings.
Breakfast reinvented! And according to the author, it scores high with the kids!
Bell peppers are incredibly rich in vitamin C, especially the red variety.

Red peppers contain several phytochemicals and carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene, which furnish you with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits!
**Top tip: Be sure to pour the egg in slowly so that it has time to seal around the bottom of each pepper ring.
