In the past several years, the ketogenic diet has grown in popularity. And nowhere is that more obvious than on Instagram, where hundreds of accounts and hashtags are dedicated to the very low-carb, high-fat way of eating.What’s with the rise in popularity? The No. 1 reason people turn to keto is for its potential weight loss benefits — at least in the short term, says Abby Langer, RD, of Toronto, the founder of Abby Langer Nutrition.That’s not to say it’ll be easy, though. The diet, made up of primarily high-fat foods and relatively few carbs, is a far cry from the way most Americans normally eat, and Langer says it’s notoriously difficult to follow correctly. Also, depending on your individual health, keto may not be the best fit for you, so be sure to check with your doctor before trying this plan. Once you’ve gotten the green light, turn to Instagram for meal ideas, along with inspiration to stay on track.Whether you’re just starting out on the keto diet or have been a keto cheerleader for years, here are eight Instagram accounts to follow for motivation, inspiration, and photos of delicious keto-friendly foods.
