Keto
Nasi Lemak Recipe For Weight Loss
The Ketogenic diet is an important diet that encompasses
high-fat content and low carbohydrate content. The diet is essential in
handling many health problems such as type two diabetes, cardiovascular risks,
epilepsy, triglycerides, polycystic ovarian syndrome, some patterns of LDL
cholesterol, acne, and some types of cancers related to nerves and brain.
One of the tastiest and delicious Ketogenic recipes that I
discovered recently is Keto Nasi Lemak. This is a very popular rice dish in
Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. In fact in Malaysia, this meal is
regarded as a national dish. It is served in restaurants, night markets, by
street vendors and cooked in homes across the country.
Per serving, it offers 501.7 calories, 39.9 g fats, 6.9
carbohydrates and 28.1 g proteins making it one of the best meals for those who
want to lose weight and achieve maximum health.

To prepare Keto Nasi Lemak, you will need kitchen appliances
