KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 19 ― Finding a place to eat while you are on a diet can be a challenge, more so if you are on a ketogenic diet.
These require a high-fat intake, with the almost complete elimination of sugar and carbohydrates -- two very important elements in most Malaysian meals.
However, this does not mean that you cannot simultaneously be on a keto diet and still enjoy a tasty bite.
Here are some keto-friendly spots to check out:
1) Three Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf, Bangsar
Calculating your macros is a difficult thing whenever eating out, but over here their keto menu guarantees no more than eight grams of carbohydrates per serving.
You have quite a selection to choose from too, ranging from Roast Pork Fried Rice to a classic American Keto Breakfast.
Keto-friendly desserts are available as well.
Address:
Ground Floor Bangsar Village
Operating hours:
Monday-Sunday (9am-10pm)
2) Thirty Seconds, Bandar Sri Damansara
If you thought a keto diet means being restricted to greens and nuts, Thirty Second’s ketogenic menu will change your whole outlook on what you can eat. It is probably one of the most comprehensive keto menus we have come across.
If you are planning to go on a “keto-date”, this is the spot for you.
Do order their low-carb cheesecake... it's so good.

Add an oil of your choice to keep your hunger on the down low.
