WHAT CAN I EAT ON A KETO DIET

It’s smart to think about Keto as what you CAN eat, rather than what you can’t eat. The Keto lifestyle is generous and there are many added products on the market that can be used as simple substitutions to further your success. One thing you’ll have to do is be open-minded. Throw out what you’ve been taught about a ‘balanced’ diet. Concentrate on these ranges: 60-75% of calories from fat (or even more), 15-30% of calories from protein, and. 5-10% of calories from carbs.

What can I eat on a Ketogenic Diet
How To Reach Ketosis

How To Reach Ketosis

Remember, ketosis is the state your body enters when you limit carbohydrates and begin burning fat for fuel. The minute you make the decision to “Go Keto”, you’ll be on your way to ketosis. This process can take up to 10 days, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t start burning fat right away. Signs you are in ketosis can include weight loss, bad breath, initial fatigue (this will pass), and ketones in your blood or urine. Use ketone test strips for a quick and easy way to verify whether you are in Ketosis.

Restrict Carbohydrates

Restrict Carbohydrates

Ideally you should consume below 20 grams of carbs/day. Plan to avoid all fruits, grains, and starchy vegetables.

Eat Plenty Of Fat

Eat Plenty Of Fat

Include butter, red meat, cream, coconut oil, and one of our favorites, avocado.

Drink Water

Drink Water

As you move toward ketosis, you’ll notice increased thirst. Increase your water intake to help replace lost fluids, suppress your appetite, and flush fat faster.

Limit Protein Intake

Limit Protein Intake

You only need about 15-30% of you calorie intake to be from protein. That’s plenty to build muscle and maintain the benefits of protein for your body.

Light Exercise

Light Exercise

Increased exercise will help you to burn fat faster and transition into ketosis. Start light and increase when the increased energy from being keto-adapted hits.

Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting

Want to supercharge your keto diet? Start by skipping a meal each day or shorten your eating window to 4-10 hours.
