Are You Gluten-Free and Curious About the Keto Diet? Here's What I Found Out!

What is the Keto Diet?

A keto or ketogenic diet is a very low-carb diet, which can help you burn fat more effectively. Many people have already experienced its many proven benefits for weight loss, health and performance. dietdoctor.com ¹

What Does the Keto Diet Look Like?

I was delighted to learn that the keto diet is largely a gluten-free diet. That would absolutely work for me – a celiac – and my dedicated gluten-free home.
