20+ Keto Recipes That Guarantee You a Holly Jolly Christmas

The holiday season is infamous for encouraging food indulgences (hello, Peppermint Mocha Lattes)! But there are plenty of recipes that taste like Christmas while still keeping your waistline in mind. If you haven't tried the keto (short for ketogenic) diet, you might want to give it a try if you're looking to slim down and amp up your energy. The idea of avoiding as many carbs as possible might be daunting, but this diet is anything but boring — believe it or not, you can have bacon! You'll see just how many great dishes you can have without sacrificing flavor by concentrating on protein and veggies. So get started on planning Christmas appetizers, dinner, and desserts with some of our favorite festive recipes.
