One of the main reasons people may be reluctant to start the keto diet is because they don’t want to give up their favourite foods. We’re here to tell you that you have nothing to be scared of.
Most of your favourite foods are Keto-friendly, and if they aren’t, you can easily modify them to fit your diet. Here are some foods that you should try!
Pizza
Yes, pizza can also be keto-safe, but Boyer said that you'd want to use cauliflower crust (which can be made homemade or found in the freezer section) made with almond flour instead of carb-filled pizza dough.
Wine
There’s nothing better than a nice glass of wine to destress after a long day. You’re encouraged to avoid alcohol while on the Keto diet, but drinking a glass of dry wine every once in a while won’t do any damage.
Bacon
You can eat bacon while you’re on the keto diet, but don’t get too excited. While it’s low in carbs, it’s also in nutritional value. You can enjoy a moderate amount every once in a while without worrying about your health.
Seafood
Seafood like salmon, oysters, and clam are low in carbs and high in key nutrients like omega 3, vitamins, and minerals. Just don’t coat your seafood with carb-filled sauces and dips.
Pork Rinds
Pork Rinds are another surprisingly keto-friendly snack that you shouldn’t gorge yourself on. While they’re low in carbs, pork rinds are high in fat and sodium, like most processed foods are.
Eggs
Eggs are a breakfast favourite that you can still enjoy while you’re on the keto diet. They’re a good source of protein and other nutrients that are low in carbs.
Berries
Being keto-friendly means that you’ll have to give up most fruits because they’re high in carbs; berries are one of the few exceptions. Toss some berries into plain yogurt to give yourself a quick and healthy snack.
Cheese
Not every cheese on the market is keto-friendly, but there are still countless options for you to choose from.
