Beginners Guide To Keto Diet

• Fruit: Apples, bananas, oranges, exceptions include small portions of
berries
• Beans : Peas, kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc.
• Root vegetables : Potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams
• Products labelled as low fat : These are highly processed and often high
in carbs.
• Sauces and Jams: These often contain sugar and unhealthy fats like mayo,
pasta sauce
• Sugar-free diet foods: These are often high in sugar alcohols, which
can affect ketone levels in some cases. These foods also tend to be
highly processed.
Counting calories and carbs can be helpful at first. But if you stick
to our recommended meal plan, you can stay on keto without even
counting.
What about drinks ?
• Alcohol: Due to their carb content, many alcoholic beverages can throw
you out of ketosis. Your liver first metabolizes alcohol first, then ketosis.
Ocassional drinks are alright, but we do not recommend regular alcohol
consumption as a part of keto diet
• Water is the perfect drink
• Coffee or tea : Ideally, use no sweeteners, especially sugar and no milk.
• Avoid lattes
• Sodas, fruit juices and smoothies should be avoided as well

or a medical professional before starting the Keto diet if :
