Ketogenic diets are all the rage right now. And even if you follow a ketogenic diet, you might not be 100% clear on what you can and can’t eat. To make your grocery shopping and meal planning easier, here are 7 keto-friendly foods for you to enjoy. 

Before we talk about keto-friendly foods, it’s helpful to understand the ketogenic diet. If you’re new to this trend, the simplest way to sum it up is that it’s a high-fat, low-carb plan.

It kicks your body into a state of ketosis, which means your body draws energy from fat, rather than sugar, helping you lose weight.

Olive oil

Coconut oil is a popular fat in keto and paleo diets, but if you don’t like the taste of it, enjoy olive oil. It’s a healthy source of monounsaturated fats and it’s also anti-inflammatory.

Broccoli

Rich in vitamins C and K, as well as being high in fiber, this low-carb vegetable helps to keep you fuller longer.

Grass-fed beef

Grass-fed beef is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and a great source of protein. What’s more, it provides your body with a good source of iron – an essential nutrient for women.

Spinach

This is another low-carb veggie thats also high in key nutrients, including vitamins A, K and B, as well as magnesium.

Avocado

Like olive oil, avocados are a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, along B vitamins, so don’t be afraid to enjoy avocados at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Eggs

With eggs, you get all 13 amino acids (essential for healthy protein), along with B vitamins. So, not only can they help you burn fat, but they also keep you energizes and leave you with healthy skin and hair.

Nuts

These low-carb snack alternatives keep hunger at bay while fueling you with healthy fats. Just be sure to watch serving sizes so as not to overdo it. A little goes a long way when it comes to nuts!
