Whether it\u2019s to lose weight or just because of food preferences, more and more people are going keto. Products like Greek yogurt, cheese and fatty proteins are gaining popularity alongside the rise of this high\u2011fat, low\u2011carb diet.

Keto-what?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does being \u201cketo\u201d even mean? The ketogenic diet consists of eating very low amounts of carbohydrates, less than 20\u00a0g per day, and high amounts of fat. This will lead the body to enter ketosis, a metabolic state in which energy is drawn from fat reserves rather than carbohydrates.<\/p>\n

Keto\u2011friendly foods, which are high in fat but low in carbs, include red meat, ham, bacon, fatty fish, dairy products, nuts and grains. On the other hand, potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, legumes and most fruits are restricted from the diet.<\/p>\n

Apart from being delicious, easily accessible and undeniably versatile, duck meat is high in omega-3, omega-6 and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These healthy fats are essential for the human body to function properly. They also help prevent certain cardiovascular diseases, lower your risk of developing type\u00a02 diabetes and reduce bad cholesterol. Duck is an excellent source of iron, riboflavin and niacin. Plus, it\u2019s low in calories, with an energy intake of as few as 190\u00a0calories per 100\u00a0g serving. Impressive, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Whether you prefer a whole duck, just the breasts or chops, or prepared products like rillettes or sausages, duck can be enjoyed in countless ways\u2014each one more scrumptious than the last\u2014and it fits perfectly into a low\u2011carb diet.<\/p>\n
