Over the last few years, the keto diet has skyrocketed in popularity, probably for one very distinct reason: it encourages you to eat satisfying, fatty foods. The only major caveat is that you have to keep your carb intake low. Offsetting this difficult task, however, is the keto diet’s allowance of another beloved food group:
The 2024 Summer Olympics may seem like they’re ages away — after all, we still have to get through the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing — but the Games have already been making headlines since France was confirmed as the host nation in 2017.
