  2. That’s a superb list! It’s often difficult to figure out what Indian foods work well for keto. But things like keema without roti or normal rice, that’s just a bit sad! :-(

  3. The jury is still out on the keto diet, isn't it? In terms of longitudinal research, we still really don't know the effects. Javing said that, I'll have paneer any day! :D

  4. Such an exhaustive list! Are you on the diet? I'm a little wary of it.

  5. I'm researching the keto diet like crazy, so thank you for this! I've been wanting to try this out for a while and I'm reading up a lot on it. So far, it sounds good. Will give it a shot truly.

  8. How a diet can come with so many food options? It's not a diet plan. It's a party plan. I am a big time foody and cannot give up on tasty food. I think Keto diet is the only diet plan that will come as a help for me.
