Every Item on the New Carl's Jr. Keto-Friendly Menu

Gone are the days when you would have to completely avoid fast food while on a diet. Fast-food chains like McDonald's, Burger King and Hardee's are more than aware of everchanging diets and wellness fads. In the past few years, the keto diet has exploded with popularity. So what did popular fast food restaurants do? They added keto-friendly items to their menus and expanded their well-known items to include keto options. Carl's Jr. keto menu items are some of the options leading the trend.

What is the Keto Diet?

Also called the ketogenic diet, this high-fat low-carb diet is very similar to the Akins diet which was popular in the 1990s. Eating low-carb options with high fat causes your body to go into a metabolic state called, "ketosis", which makes your body burn fat for energy instead of sugar. Studies have also shown that keto diets also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels.
