What can I eat on Keto?

First off you can click here for a quick quiz that will help you understand the maco’s you need to consume based on your food interests.

I have always been interested in fitness and living healthy but never gave into “fads”, I figured I would eat the way I wanted to eat; however, January 2018 I weighed myself and was disgusted at being 6’3″ and my weight increasing to 276 lbs. … I thought I was just “built” but I was heavier than I should have been, my bloodwork was concerning, and I was in denial. Since then I have increased my workouts and also introduced Keto to my lifestyle and am down to 208 lbs with an origional goal of 210, I crushed it and you can too!

It was one of the best decisions I have made. For great custom keto plan click here.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what I did and didn’t eat.

1. No fruit, unless it’s berries in moderation 
2. No wheat 
3. No sugar 
4. No grains 
5. No pasta 
6. No potatoes 
7. No rice 
8. No beans 
9. No starches 
10. No milk as it’s loaded with sugar. ( unsweetened almond milk is recommended.)
11. Meat, cheese, eggs, vegetable, nuts, and healthy fats. It’s simple. Stick to that, and you should be ok.

Vegetables that should be avoided are : 

(They are full of starches and not recommended.)

1. Sweet potatoes 
2. Corn 
3. Peas 
4. Potatoes 
5. Carrots

Make sure to drink half your body weight In oz of water as well if you aren’t getting the adequate amount of water it can be bad for your kidneys! This applies for all forms of keto.

Do not forget your electrolytes, they are needed daily.

There are many forms of keto, strict and lazy. The only difference between the two is this :

Strict keto – counts all macros, does not eat processed foods.

Lazy keto – doesn’t track all macros, still eats processed foods, as long as they are on plan.

People are also asking for me to explain what macros are. Macros are a break down of the calories by carbs, protein, and fat you intake for the day. Which for me was… to calculate your macros click here!

5% carbs 
20% protein 
75% fat

Anything other than this food group selection would be considered low carb. Also, if you are in ketosis, and eat outside of this food group not only could it take you out of ketosis, but it could spike your blood sugar! Which can make you sick. I know that this is a lot to take in and without the proper guidance you could fail. But with the proper plan you to can reach your goals!

Hope this helps.
