To say that the ketogenic diet has become one of the most popular eating practices in recent years is a huge understatement. The well-known diet has captured the interest of millions of people who want to lose weight thanks to the many success stories, celebrity endorsements and personal experiences. The diet has also become popular in the UAE, which is evidenced by the number of places which have opened up to fulfil a Keto diet in Dubai. Are you wondering where can you find a similar, keto restaurant in Abu Dhabi? The list below includes some amazing places where you can dine, order or subscribe to a keto meal plan in the country’s capital.
What is a Keto lifestyle?
Before we get into following a lifestyle dedicated to keto food in Abu Dhabi, it’s important to consider what such a diet is and how it works. A keto or ketogenic diet is based on low-carb and high-fat meals. The purpose of a keto lifestyle is to reduce the number of carbohydrates your body takes in and replace it with fat. The drastic reduction puts your body into a metabolic state known as ketosis — which basically means that it tricks the body into burning fat instead of carbs. A keto lifestyle, therefore, focuses on following eating plans that are based on the said diet.
Now that we know how the diet works, here are some Keto restaurants in Abu Dhabi you can consider:
