Singer and TV personality Chiquis Rivera is a fan of the keto diet and has been following it for some time now. In a nutshell, the keto diet is a high-fat, protein-heavy, low-carb diet that forces the body to burn stored fat. Now, Chiquis being Chiquis does keto her way, and she calls it "ChiKETO." How cute is that? "I love it and we call it ChiKETO because, you know, I'm a boss and I don't necessarily follow exactly how keto goes," she says. "I don't count macro and things like that, but obviously I do follow what keto's about. So, I do a lot of keto-friendly things, so that's why we call it ChiKETO."
