Red lentil soup
Red lentil soup is one of the simplest, yet one of the most nutritious dishes you can prepare. It's the perfect dish for colder days when you need something to warm you from the inside out, but it's also light enough to serve as a summer meal. Red lentils are an ingredient that's incredibly versatile and healthy. It is rich in protein, fiber and key micronutrients such as magnesium, potassium and iron. It has a delicate, grainy flavor that pairs well with a variety of spices and toppings, making red lentil soup a dish that can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Juicy tomatoes, sweet carrots, and celery add depth of flavor, while aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric or chilli add an oriental character. It all adds up to a soup that is both filling and easy to digest.

About me
And short story about LEET DIET
As a choreographer and aerial gymnast, I had always been interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Diets had been my hobby, but I never truly enjoyed them until I discovered the Keto diet. After reading numerous books about how our bodies work and the benefits of a high-fat, low-carb diet, I decided to give it a try. I never looked back. The Keto lifestyle quickly became my passion, and I began experimenting with new recipes and meal plans. That's when I decided to share my knowledge with the world and created Leet Diet, a website filled with delicious Keto-friendly recipes and helpful tips for anyone looking to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
