6 Foods to Eat on a Ketogenic Diet – What To Eat

August 24, 2018

6 Foods to Eat on a Ketogenic Diet – What To Eat: If you are looking forward to getting a quick start-over on your fitness goals this year for the betterment of your health, then definitely you shall be thinking about trying the ketogenic diet. So, it’s definitely time to make changes and adopt a healthy lifestyle and simultaneously following our regular physical activities.

Are you not sure or maybe not aware of what to eat on a keto diet? Then here you’ll find a list of food items that you can have on a Ketogenic Diet which will give you the much-needed benefits. Let’s take a look at the food items:

1. Vegetables growing above ground

Whether the vegetables are Fresh or frozen, both are fine. But you have to choose vegetables that are growing above the ground, especially leafy and green items. They can be cauliflower, cabbage, avocado, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, asparagus, cucumber, onion, mushroom, spinach, lettuce, green beans, olives. They are tasty and very healthy when on a Keto Diet.
Some people also add more variety, flavor, and color to your keto meals. Most people end up eating more vegetables than before when starting keto, as the vegetables replace the food items like pasta, potatoes etc.

2. Nuts and Seeds

Nuts like almonds, peanuts, peanut butter, almond butter, macadamia nuts, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts etc can be consumed on a Keto diet but you have to be careful of eating them in moderation as the excess of it can cause harm. You have to be careful when using nuts as snacks, as you can eat far more than you require to feel satisfied. Also be cautious that cashews are relatively high carb, choose macadamia or pecan nuts instead.

3. Fish and Seafood

Fish is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and has all the nutritional qualities in one food. The best of them are salmon, snapper, trout, tuna, cod, catfish, halibut, clams, oysters, lobster, crab, scallops, mussels etc. Just avoid breading, as it contains carbs.

5. Meat

The most important Keto friendly food is Meat.  Unprocessed meats are low carb, organic and the grass-fed meat is the most healthy of all. But remember that keto is a high-fat diet, not a high in protein diet, so you don’t have to eat a lot of meat. Excess of protein is converted to glucose, making it harder to get into ketosis. A normal amount of meat is enough for the Keto Diet. Meat like chicken, pork, steak, ground beef, lamb, bacon, ham, turkey, sausage (in limited amounts and fattier cuts).

6.High-Fat Dairy

The more the fat intake, the better results it will give. High Fat-Diary products like heavy cream, cheese (soft and hard), cream cheese, sour cream are very beneficial in the Keto diet. Butter is high in fat and could be eaten in moderation. Although avoid drinking milk as the milk sugar adds on to the carbs. Finally, be aware that regularly snacking on cheese when you’re not hungry is a common mistake that can slow weight loss.
