What Is The Keto Diet, Exactly?
In the keto diet world, there are two types of people: those who are all for the high-fat lifestyle and those who, well, aren’t. Halle Berry, for example, is clearly a proponent – as are “Mama June” Shannon and Jenna Jameson. Jameson, for example, credits the keto diet with her more than 40kg post-partum weight loss, while Berry swears that it helps her maintain her health (she has type2 diabetes). But, like any super-polarising trend, the keto diet isn’t universally loved: entrepreneur Tamra Judge, who was on the keto diet for about a month, recently quit, saying it “doesn’t do anything” and made her feel sick (#ketofluproblems). Amidst all the positive and negative reviews, though, you may still be a little hazy on the details of the keto diet – like what it is, how it works and exactly how much butter and cheese you get to eat. Don’t worry, I got you.
