Low Carb Taco Salad
This healthy beef taco salad recipe is very keto-friendly, because it is higher in fat content and low in carbohydrates. Everyone has a different way of eating and what works best for them. For example, this is called bio-individuality. What works for one person might not work for another. We all know how best we feel while eating particular foods. With that in mind, I recognize that many people find a lot of success on the keto diet.
However, I personally feel that the keto diet should not be used long-term, but can be beneficial for those who wish to jumpstart weight loss and see results early on. With that being said, I think for long-term meal planning, it is better to include healthy carbohydrates into one's diet and not restrict entire macronutrients. That being said, I know many who have been successful long-term on keto. It really is all about planning.
