Come check out these five tasty marijuana recipes geared for those enthusiasts that are currently on ketogenic diets! A diet that is high in fats and extremely low on carbohydrates, it was originally conceived as a way to help treat certain types of epilepsy in young children. This particular diet makes the body burn up fats as opposed to carbohydrates as a fuel source for the brain. The reduction in carbs, which would normally be converted to glucose, leads the body to use fat instead and convert it into ketones. The ketones are then used by the brain instead of glucose, which ultimately results in a marked decrease in seizure activity for those affected.
Given the significant fat burning aspect, it’s no surprise that it has gained some popularity here in the states in recent years. Be sure to follow the link below for four more delicious keto-friendly recipes to try, including gummies and ice cream!
