Cooking for Keto

The keto diet is the latest food and weight loss diet taking over dieting and pop culture. Essentially, the keto diet allows you to eat many of your favorite fatty and low-carb foods while losing weight and enjoying a healthier and more active lifestyle. Keto diets boost a wide array of health benefits, including significant weight loss and reduction of blood sugar and insulin levels. Diets can often seem intimidating, but by understanding the types of foods you can still eat and how you can create healthy, fun and fresh meals, mastering the keto diet is simple and fun.

What Can You Eat on the Keto Diet?What can you eat on the keto diet?

When on the keto diet, it may be tempting at first to believe you can eat any high-fat food you want. For the best results, those enjoying the keto diet need to monitor their intake and consume the right types of food. Keto diets are primarily made up of 70 to 80% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbohydrates. Keeping this in mind, here’s what you can typically eat on a keto diet:

  • Fattier Meat Cuts — Chicken, Pork, Steak and Beef, Bacon, Ham and Sausage
  • Fats and Oil — Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Ghee, Avocado Oil and Mayonnaise
  • Several Vegetables — Onion, Avocado, Broccoli, Zucchini and Peppers.
  • High-Fat Dairy Products — Heavy Cream, Cheese, Cream Cheese and Sour Cream
  • Nuts — Almonds, Peanuts and Peanut Butter, Macadamia Nuts, Pecans and Walnuts
  • Seafood — Salmon, Clams, Oysters, Lobster, Crab, Scallops and Mussels
  • Other Foods — Eggs, Unsweetened Coffee and Spices
