  • Is a keto diet actually healthy?

    Hi, Any diet can be healthy, as long as you have balanced meals and sometimes adding supplements. If you do keto, protein (meat, fish and poultry), some healthy fats and lots of non-starchy veggies(leafy greens, orange, red and other green color veggies) that should be sustainable.
