Less carbs — more fat. But it’s not just “cut sugar.” You need foods that actually support ketosis.
What You Can Eat on Keto
🔹 Meat & Fish – chicken, beef, pork, salmon, tuna 🔹 Eggs – a keto staple, full of protein and fat 🔹 Fats – avocado, olive & coconut oil, butter, lard 🔹 Low-carb Vegetables – broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, zucchini 🔹 Nuts & Seeds – almonds, walnuts, chia, flax 🔹 Dairy (in moderation) – cheese, cream, unsweetened yogurt 🔹 Drinks – water, coffee, tea (unsweetened), electrolyte mixes
🚫 What to Avoid
🔸 Bread, pasta, rice, grains 🔸 Sugar, sweets, juice, soda 🔸 Most fruits (except small portions of berries) 🔸 Milk – too much lactose 🔸 Processed foods with hidden carbs
✅ Okay in small amounts: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries 🚫 Best to avoid: bananas, apples, grapes, dates — high sugar content.
🥤 What Can You Drink?
Best choice: plain water. Also okay: black coffee, tea, broth, electrolyte drinks. ❌ Avoid: juices, soda, even “diet” ones — sweeteners may kick you out of ketosis.
🎯 Key Tip
Instead of obsessing over “allowed” vs “forbidden,” focus on:
✅under 20–50 g net carbs daily ✅healthy fats as your main energy ✅whole, unprocessed food
