In a world packed with sugary sodas, milkshakes jam-packed with candy, and bagels bigger than your head, following the ketogenic diet can feel isolating at times. If you need a little support to keep yourself on track, one of the best sites currently available is Reddit. Reddit is an anonymous social media platform that allows its users to divide themselves into interest-specific communities called “subreddits.” From funny videos of cats to French literature to parenting advice, there’s a subreddit for every interest you can think of, no matter how obscure or niche.
There are also a ton of great keto subreddits thriving with supportive communities, helpful advice, and friendly users! The following are some of the best keto-related subreddits currently active. To reach them, simply go to ” https://www.reddit.com/r/X,” replacing the X with the community you’re searching for!
