The ketogenic (or keto, for short) diet is the type of meal plan that is high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates, with a moderate amount of protein. The purpose of this diet is to get most of your calories from protein and fat than from carbohydrates. This diet works by reducing the amount of stored sugar in your body, so it will begin to use fat for energy. This causes your body to go into a state of ketosis, and ultimately cause desired weight loss.

On the keto diet, you have a wide variety of foods and recipes to choose from. Just a quick look on Pinterest will reveal keto recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, breads, salads, and even treats. In this post, we will concentrate on quick keto recipes for dinner. Whether you are looking for a healthy but tasty keto recipe for yourself, or you want to impress your family with a welcoming meal, these easy and satisfying keto recipes that will help you stay full for hours. These keto recipes are great for lunch or leftovers as well.
