The keto diet was the ‘it’ diet in Hollywood with celebrities like Halle Berry, Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Hudgens, Megan Fox, Adriana Lima and Katie Couric giving rise to its popularity. Now, it has become the go-to diet for many, thanks to its quick results in shedding the pounds as well as other health benefits.
The diet restricts sugar and limits carbs, pushing the body into a state of ‘ketosis’, where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. But with such a restricted diet, eating out often becomes a pain.
We have put together six eateries that are keto-friendly, some even have dedicated keto menu!

Suchan Patisserie
One of the biggest hurdles in going keto is giving up desserts. Luckily, Suchan has made having a slice of cake a possibility again. Go ahead and try their keto chocolate avocado or keto red velvet for the next special occasion where a cake is a must. Cut yourself a second slice while you are at it since they are sugar- free and low-carb.
