5 Delicious Low Carb Fish & Seafood Recipes.
The ketogenic diet has been around for decades, but it’s more popular now than ever. It’s also easier than ever to follow because you can find plenty of delicious recipes that are low in carbs. As a low-carb diet, the ketogenic diet is high in fat, moderate in protein, and very low in carbs.

You can achieve this by limiting your intake of foods like breads, pastas, juices, sodas, fruit, rice, beans and sweets so that you can lose weight gradually without feeling hungry or deprived. Here are some healthy seafood recipes you can try on your next shopping trip!
