WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fatĀ for its primary fuel source.
On Keto, youāre supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
Keto Zucchini Fritters
This recipe for Keto Zucchini Fritters is a cinch to whip up and tastes amazing. They make a delicious meal or side dish and can be made with many variations. For a little extra flavour, you could add scallions, green onions or chives. You could also add feta or parmesan cheese. The crispy fritters can be served with any type of dip. I used sour cream, which was delicious but you could use a greek yogurt dip, tartar sauce or ranch instead.

Tried it.
Loved it. So did everyone who tried it. šš¾ 5 STARS!!
From my interpretation of the recipe, the cream cheese/egg mixture was more than enough. I have leftover mixture to hopefully turn into breakfast pancakes.
