Can you image eating loads of butter and fat-rich foods every day and still lose weight? Well, that's what ketogenic diet does to you. Placing its tenants on a low-carb, high-fat foods, keto diet claims to let you shed extra fat, extra faster. This short-time diet has found favour with many celebrities and health experts who swear by the immediate effects of this diet. However, this diet has also met with opposition from many sects of people also. Whatever be the fate of this diet in the future, the fact is that it is trending in the present day and how! The diet also propagates consumption of eggs as they are full of proteins, offer many health benefits and are easier to digest.
People on a weight loss mission often eat only the egg white and leave out the yolk as it adds more fat in the body. But, keto diet shot down this belief by including egg yolk in its diet chart. Reason - As egg whites are abound with proteins, egg yolks contain not just fat, but also vital nutrients like Vitamin A, D, E, K, B12, folate and choline. It's true that egg yolks are indeed fattening but they also rush in a font of energy in the body. And, that is what keto diet is all about - no carbs but lots of energy-providing fats.
