We’ve all heard the amazing testimonies of the recent diet called the ‘Keto’ or Ketogenic diet that helps other people not just lose weight, but also attain great overall health. This diet simply instructs that the person who wishes to do the diet has to get rid of consuming starches and sugars. This means removing cakes, junk/processed food, sugared sodas, rice, pasta, and definitely potatoes.
Despite the amazing benefits this diet has presented itself, a lot still can’t truly forego with the diet because they have a hard time letting go of some of the favorite food they are used to eating.

If you’re already a keto-ist, then you can most likely relate to missing the taste of this common childhood favorite.
