Keto is a very low-carb, high-fat regimen. The reduction in carbs puts the body into a metabolic state called ketosis, when the body burns stored fats instead of glucose for energy. Health benefits include weight loss and potential for improved blood sugar levels for those with type 2 diabetes. Finding high quality keto packaged snacks can be a challenge. Here we share our top picks.
