On the keto diet and love Chick-fil-A? Now you don't have to choose one or the other. The fast food restaurant has come up with a way for you to have both.
Chick-fil-A has introduced keto-friendly menu options, along with food tips so you don't have to navigate that diet all alone, because what else are friends for? Some of the foods have 10 or fewer net grams of carbs, the restaurant says.
Reach for entrees like the Grilled Chicken Sandwich or Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich, both without the bun. You can still drench your side salad in dressings and sauce, too. Just try options such as the Garlic and Herb Ranch Sauce or Creamy Salsa Dressing.
Head here to see the full list of keto-friendly offerings at Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A appears to be one of the latest restaurants to show foodies on the keto diet some love.
If you're unfamiliar with the Keto diet, it's essentially a diet that switches your entire body over from running on mainly carbohydrates (found mostly in breads and pastas) and sugar, to running on fat and ketones. In it's simplest terms, you cut out sugar and carbs almost completely and you lose a bunch of weight once your body completes that switch and enters "ketosis." Honestly, it seems like a fad, a trend, just like the south beach diet, and Atkins, and whatever it was that Anna Nicole Smith was a fan of before she passed. TrimSpa I think it was. This too shall pass, but if you're down for it and stick to it with religious fervor (it is apparently very easy to fall out of ketosis) then you could reap the benefits!
Here's where Chick-Fil-A comes in, Keto is pretty much the only diet where you can eat fast food and still lose weight. It's less about eating "healthy" and more about eating things high in fat and low in carbs (fast food). So Chik-Fil-A, being the smart brand that they are, hopped on Keto trend and sent out a beacon to all those attempting to try this diet and said "you can still eat here on your diet" Brilliant marketing if you ask me. Now I'm hungry... @Traceahamilton
