The ketogenic diet is possibly one of the most popular diets of recent times. In the most simple terms, a keto diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that many claim to be effective in treatment hard-to-control illnesses like heart disease or epilepsy.
It is most commonly adopted by people who are trying to lose weight. So, if you are also planning to keto, here are some foods that you include in your diet.
Salmon and other fatty fish are as keto-friendly as it gets. Fish are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids as well as minerals like selenium and potassium.
Low-carb, non-starchy vegetables are low in calories but loaded with other important nutrients. So add ample amounts of broccoli, bell peppers, spinach and green beans to your keto plates.
With nearly no carbohydrate content, cheese is a powerhouse of healthy fat. It is also rich in protein and calcium at the same time, making it a great addition to any healthy meal. Alternatively, you can also have some plain yoghurt or paneer for the same benefits, if cheese is not your thing.
Finally, don't forget about nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Being full of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, fiber and protein, these foods are a key part of keto diets. Most experts recommend olive and coconut oil to be your best friends if you're on keto.
While keto may work for many, we recommend that you must consult a certified nutritionist before making any drastic changes to your diet.
