On a ketogenic diet, the goal is to consume high amounts of healthy fats, moderate amounts of protein, and very low amounts of carbohydrates. Here are some foods that are commonly eaten on a keto diet:
Healthy fats: Avocado, nuts and seeds (such as almonds, macadamia nuts, and chia seeds), olive oil, coconut oil, and grass-fed butter or ghee.
Protein: Meat (such as beef, pork, chicken, and lamb), fish and seafood (such as salmon, tuna, shrimp, and mussels), eggs, and plant-based protein sources (such as tofu and tempeh).
Non-starchy vegetables: Leafy greens (such as spinach, kale, and arugula), broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts.
Low-sugar fruits: Berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries), avocado, and olives.
Dairy products: High-fat cheese, heavy cream, and full-fat Greek yogurt (in moderation).
It's important to avoid or limit foods that are high in carbohydrates, including:
Grains (such as wheat, rice, and corn)
Starchy vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots)
Sugary foods and beverages (such as soda, candy, and baked goods)
Most fruits (with the exception of berries, avocado, and olives)
Processed foods (such as chips, crackers, and fast food)
