What is a Keto Zone “fat bomb?”

It is simply a snack, or meal replacement, that is almost all fats.

In fact, a fat bomb typically contains 90% or more calories from fat. Traditional fat bombs are snack-sized morsels, either balls or bars, and pack about 200 calories in just a couple bites.

But not all fat bombs are equal.

To qualify as truly Keto Zone, they should be made of healthy, anti-inflammatory fats.

And not all fat bombs are morsels. We’ve included morsels, drinks, a spooned bomb, and more. They all serve the same function.

From quick easy-to-make instructions to full recipes, we hope you enjoy these 5 Delicious Keto Zone Fat Bombs and 5 reasons you should make them today.

5 Delicious Keto Zone “Fat Bombs” 

Traditional Fat Bombs:

1.No-Bake Chocolate Fat Bomb

Stir well until it becomes a creamy thick texture. Place in mini coconut oil-greased cupcake liners, or form into cubes, and refrigerate just until hardened, about 15-20 minutes.

5 Reasons to Eat our Keto Zone Fat Bombs

1.    They Satisfy Hunger.

When you eat a snack high in healthy fat, with little protein or carbohydrates, they signal our brains to tell us that we are full. In fact, in an individual food or meal, fats improve leptin and ghrelin balance to help us identify fullness vs. hunger.

On the whole, high-fat diets tend to suppress appetite. In studies, those eating a high-fat diet tend to eat less total calories and still report less hunger.

2.    Healthy Fats Improve Health.

Healthy fats have a lot to offer nutritionally. When they replace carbohydrates, they:

• Improve cholesterol ratios by increasing HDL “good cholesterol” while reducing or maintaining LDL “bad cholesterol”
• Reduce dangerous triglycerides
• Optimize blood sugars and insulin.
• Improve brain and eye health
• Reduce inflammation

3.    High Percentage Fat Snacks Promote Ketosis

Since fat bombs are typically over 85% fat, they can significantly increase fat intake in the entire diet to 75% or more calories from fat.

Most meals, even Keto Zone meals, also include protein and a few carbohydrates. Fat bombs can quickly tip the balance toward more fats.

4.  They Bust Cravings

It seems that most people either crave sweets or salt. Fortunately, fat bombs can be sweet or savory.

Fat Bombs are an easy addition to the Keto Zone diet, and their rich, delicious flavors can help you satisfy any craving.

Feeling satisfied definitely increases the longevity and success of Keto Zone eating.

5. They Are Beneficial to Keto Zone Eaters and Others

Even those who eat more carbs can benefit from Fat Bombs as long as they replace carbohydrate snacks. If you eat moderate carbs, it will not help to simply add more fats. Instead, replace carbohydrate with healthy fats, and still reap many of the benefits listed above.

Bottom Line

Healthy Keto Zone Fat Bombs are quick, easy, satisfying, and can help you achieve ketosis.
