Looking for an easy way to hit your fat macros? Have a sweet tooth? Want to get into a deeper state of ketosis?
Jump on the keto bandwagon and see why everyone, including us at Konscious Keto, is raving about fat bombs - these tasty bites are a special treat that you can eat guilt-free on keto.
Each fat bomb has a 90% or more fat content, leading to the name. They are very low-carb and may contain some moderate protein (from peanut butter), making them very ketogenic.
Eating fat is essential on a high-fat diet, as this is what gives you energy. Without it, you are merely on a low-carb diet.
True ketogenic diets require you to eat most of your daily recommended calories from fat sources; and while we recommend eating your fats when possible from fatty fish and nuts or seeds, fat bombs are fantastic for busy days.
Fat bombs are usually made at home and stores in the fridge or freezer for up to a few weeks at a time. You can take them out and eat them as is, or blend them into an iced coffee to supercharge your day.
These tasty treats offer tons of health benefits, and while it may feel counter-intuitive to eat lots of fat to lose fat, people whose fat bombs get on average 3 times more fat loss than people who don't.
This is because a little of what you love does you good. You can use fat bombs to curb cravings and get into ketosis; both aid in weight loss, so give one of our tasty recipes a try today and let us know what you think!
