If you're looking to start the New Year off with a new diet plan, National Keto Day on January 5th is the perfect time to begin! What is keto? You eliminate carbohydrates from your diet so that your body burns stored glycogen first. Once it burns through the glycogen, your body moves into a stage called ketosis and begins burning excess fat away. This diet is somewhat restrictive, often limited to foods like dairy, nuts, low-carbohydrate veggies, sustainably-raised meats, and healthy fats.

Unsure of how to prepare your meals for your keto diet? You're in luck! Our real estate agents have found six restaurants featuring low carb dining in Richmond for you to give it a try!

1. Perch — 2918 W. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23230
   For a Pacific spin on comforting Virginia cuisine, head over to Perch in historic Scott's Addition. If you'd like to get the full Perch experience, sign up for one of their diverse weekly Chef's Table dinners. Of course, their dinner and lunch menus are just as tasty and change from week to week based on what fresh foods they can procure. Make a reservation for dinner and discover your new favorite keto dish.
