Silicon Valley's favorite diet is now available in a three-day meal kit that costs $210 - we gave it a try
A low-carb, high-fat diet that's been described as "Atkins on steroids" is gaining momentum in Silicon Valley. The ketogenic diet - "keto" for short - encourages eating bacon, butter, eggs, nuts, avocados, and other healthy fats, and tech workers say it super-charges the human body.
Eat lots of fat might sound great, but the keto diet is harder to maintain than you might expect.
Urban Remedy, an organic food company that sells ready-to-eat meals, juices, and snacks in the Bay Area and online, launched a pre-made keto meal kit to help people dive in.
The plan includes three days' worth of low-carb, high-fat meals, so customers don't have to keep track of their carbohydrate intake in the early days of the diet. The plan costs $210.
