WHAT CAN YOU EAT ON THE KETO DIET?
The Keto diet typically consists of foods that are high in healthy fats and low in carbohydrates.
Here’s a list of foods that are commonly consumed on the Keto diet:
Healthy Fats:
-Avocado
-Coconut oil
-Butter or ghee
-Olive oil
-Nuts and seeds (almonds, macadamia nuts, chia seeds, etc.)
-Cheese
-Heavy cream
Proteins:
-Meat (beef, chicken, pork, etc.)
-Fish (salmon, tuna, etc.)
-Eggs
Low-carbohydrate Vegetables:
Leafy greens (spinach, kale, lettuce, etc.)
-Broccoli
-Cauliflower
-Zucchini
-Bell peppers
-Mushrooms
Other Foods:
-Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.) in moderation
-Dark chocolate with high cocoa content
It’s important to note that not all fats are equal, and it’s important to choose healthy fats over unhealthy ones. Foods high in unhealthy trans fats, such as processed snacks and fried foods, should be limited or avoided on the Keto diet.
Additionally, while some high-carbohydrate foods can be consumed in small quantities, such as berries, it’s important to stick to low-carbohydrate options to maintain the metabolic state of ketosis.
The Keto diet can be a nutritious and filling way of eating, but it’s important to speak with a doctor or a registered dietitian before starting the diet to ensure it’s appropriate for your individual needs and health goals.
