FOODS
TO

ENJOY
Enjoy a variety of meat, fish, eggs, full-fat dairy products

like cheeses, butter, and cream, low-carb nuts

(especially pecans, macadamia nuts, brazil nuts,

walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts), healthy oils, low-carb

condiments, low-carb veggies like broccoli, cauliflower,

and leafy greens—and a whole lot of avocados!

FOODS
TO

LIMIT
You may enjoy certain higher-carb fruits and vegetables in moderation.
For instance, a handful of berries or a small serving of squash, carrots,

tomatoes, tomatoes, or onions are okay to incorporate into your diet.


I cook with a few of these ingredients often, because I love the flavor and

texture they bring to my dishes. I feel it’s worth using some of my daily carbs
to enjoy their contribution.

Watch for higher carbs in cottage cheese, full-fat yogurts with added sugar,

and certain nuts, including cashews, chestnuts, and pistachios, and their

corresponding nut flours.


These items are fine to incorporate into your diet in moderation, just be sure

to track those carbs.

FOODS
TO

AVOID

Foods to altogether avoid on a keto diet include grains, most fruits,

processed foods, starchy vegetables, sugary drinks, and refined fats.


Watch nutrition labels for hidden sugars and carbs while grocery

shopping and cooking. This is especially important when you are buying

condiments, sauces, and dressings rather than making them yourself.

Store-bought versions of these products are often loaded with

sweeteners and starchy thickeners. Alcohol should also be avoided, but

dry wines and low-carb spirits can be consumed in small amounts.

When you drink alcohol, your body is going to burn the alcohol first as

energy and then use fat (if you are fat-adapted).


So, realize when you are drinking that you aren’t making any progress,

just stalling until your body burns through the alcohol.
