The benefits of a ketogenic, low carb diet have been known for decades, and it has been proven time and again that cutting carbs to minimal levels in your diet can transform your body, by making it burn its own fat for fuel in a natural reaction called ketosis.

Those following a vegetarian low carb diet may find they need to use the pre-prepared low carb products (such as low carb snack bars and shakes) that are on the market more than meat eaters.

This is all down to personal taste and choice though, and it is safe and healthy to follow a vegetarian low carb diet without these products.
