Keto without eggs?

As you probably know, keto is all about reducing your carbs to an extremely low level and eating a lot of fats to induce the state of Nutritional ketosis

Basically, instead of using the glucose you usually get from carbs to make energy, your body goes, "Wait. I'm out of glucose. Guess it's time to use fat".

One of the barriers some people have in doing a keto diet is that a ton of recipes use eggs and you may just not be that into eggs.

While it’s true that Eggs are one of the healthiest foods on the planet and the staple food of Keto. Given the strict and restricted prerequisites to fit in a Keto diet, egg is one such food which fulfills all norms, namely, low carbs and high fats, rich source of protein and other essential nutrients.

However, you don’t need eggs to live a keto lifestyle. Many reasons can motivate you to avoid dairy, or eggs on a keto diet. One of 2 reasons that you may avoid eggs - if you are a vegan/vegetarian or you don't like how they taste. Either way you can definitely do a keto diet without eggs.
