In addition, eggs contain leucine. Leucine specifically helps prevent muscle breakdown while promoting lean tissue protein synthesis.
Eggs also provide vitamins and 0minerals such as choline, Vitamins A, D, E, and K, phosphorus, calcium, iron, iodine, selenium, and zinc. These nutrients are beneficial throughout the body, including in the brain and eyes (1).

In Keto Zone Lemon Curd, the lemon juice provides the delicious, bright flavor, just the right amount of tartness, and all these great health benefits.
Organic coconut oil is made up of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). These special saturated fats are quickly digested and metabolized like carbs, bypassing the normally slow, bile-dependant digestive path of most fats.
What’s more, they are used directly by the energy powerhouses of the cell, the mitochondria, and offer more than twice the calories (energy) of carbohydrates per gram.
But the benefits of coconut oil and cream go beyond energy.
Coconut fats have been found to be a healthy choice in study after study, even promoting an increase in natural calorie expenditure by the body (1) and improved HDL (2), and more.
Most everyone is born with an affinity for sweets.
Unfortunately, too much sugar and refined carbs in the diet has wreaked havoc on our health as a society.

Erythritol is a great sugar alcohol, that provides a great sweet taste with zero carbs.
