Coconut is rich in fibre and also lowers blood sugar levels in the body. Fats contained in coconut go straight to the liver and are broken down into ketones, which are used for energy. Thus ideal for a ketogenic diet.
Snacks are very useful as energy replenisher ideal to keep you on your feet the whole day. But you should be careful not to snack too much or it could lead to weight gain.
