We bet you have heard about the Ketogenic diet in Nigeria, that is the new lifestyle of many Nigerians.
This diet is an approach that was discovered in 1920 to cure epilepsy. It offers you to eat high-fat, low-protein and extra low carbohydrate meals.
A true Nigerian Keto diet puts your body in a so-called «Ketosis state» that lowers insulin and ultimately reduces fat store.
Let’s find out more about the Keto diet, discuss the allowed and forbidden foods, take a look at the diet plan and, of course, check out the tasty recipes!
