What is a Keto Zone “fat bomb?”
It is simply a snack, or meal replacement, that is made up of 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.
Fat bombs can be very helpful to Keto Zone eaters because they are an easy way to increase fat intake.
But, there’s more to them than that. In addition, fat bombs:
Are packed with anti-inflammatory fats
Improve brain health
Help eaters reach ketosis
Satisfy hunger
Much more
