Low-carb recipes, like the following Keto Lemon Cranberry Quick Bread, can satisfy all those sweet tooth cravings while simultaneously being a guilt-free, quick and easy breakfast, snack, or dessert.
What Makes Something Keto?
A ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet that forces your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. To achieve ketosis, you need to significantly reduce your carbohydrate intake and increase your fat intake. Foods that are naturally low in carbohydrates, such as meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and healthy oils, are key to a keto diet. So for our Low Carb Keto Lemon Cranberry Quick Bread we use coconut flour and a powdered sugar substitute.
