Keto Diet Recipes for Rapid Weight Loss

It's pretty much impossible to check your Pinterest (or Instagram, or Facebook) feed without coming across a keto recipe—it seems like everyone and their mom is on the keto diet these days.

But it can be hard to wade through all those recipes to see which you should actually try. After all, if you're on a keto diet there are three major requirements that need to be met: The recipes have to be high in fat, low in carbs, and taste delicious, of course.

70+ Amazing Keto Recipes That Will Change Your Life

Still, it's a good idea to look a little deeper too. "It's important to look out for the source of fat in recipes," says Beth Warren, R.D.N., founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living a Real Life with Real Food. "Your goal is to choose fats that do not promote inflammation and are more anti-inflammatory."

When you can, she recommends looking for avocado or olive oils over vegetable oils. Nuts are a good ingredient to look for, too, Warren says, since they're usually packed with nutrients and can help fill you up.

Keeping those guidelines in mind, here are dozens of delicious keto recipes to try on your own.

There's a mix of everything here—from "treat yo'self" fancy dinners to quick, on-the-go meals or snacks, so you'll never get bored.
