“What can I eat on the keto diet?!”
When you nearly eliminate an entire macronutrient—in the case of keto, it’s carbohydrates—getting the right balance of nutrition becomes a bit more challenging.
Folks who are interested in trying keto often wonder:
- Can I still eat vegetables? If so, which ones?
- Is fruit completely off-limits?
- What about foods that have a small amount of carbohydrates, like cheese?
- Is bacon a protein or a fat?
- Is butter healthy?
That’s why we created this handy keto food list.
Warning: You might notice that this infographic is a bit different from other keto guides you’ve seen.
We’re not going to tell you that some foods are completely off-limits. Instead, we’ve sorted foods typically thought of as “no-no’s” on the keto diet into an “eat less” bucket.
By thinking of foods on a continuum from “eat more” to “eat less,” you’ll be able to follow the keto diet and still include a range of nutritious foods. (Although, with severely restrictive diets like keto, we always recommend working with a medical practitioner, especially if you plan to follow the diet long-term.)
Use our continuums to make keto food choices that are “just a little bit better,” whether you’re browsing the grocery store aisles, cooking a homemade meal, or ordering from a menu.
Plus, learn how to:
- Incorporate a mix of keto-friendly proteins, vegetables, and fats to create nutritious meals
- Strategically improve your food choices—based on what you eat right now—to feel, move, and look better.
- Customize your intake for your individual lifestyle, goals, and (of course) taste buds.
As a bonus, we’ve provided space to create your own personal keto food list on a continuum. That way, you can build a delicious menu that’s right for you—no headaches required.
