What to avoid
- Sugar: That means no desserts or sweet drinks. There are some keto-friendly sweetener options, such as monk fruit sweetener and erythritol, but it’s best to avoid them altogether.
- Fruits: Most fruits are high in sugar and carbohydrates, so it’s best to avoid them. But there are some exceptions when it comes to berries.
- Starch: Keep away from any grain-related foods, such as rice, bread, noodles and barley, as well as potatoes, carrots and legumes.
- Vegetables: Make sure that you are including enough fibre in your diet. But be aware of how your vegetables are cooked – avoid them cooked in a thick starchy sauce.
- Meat: Apart from fat, it is important to ensure you include protein in your diet. Stick to simple foods like fish, beef, pork and eggs, and avoid processed food.
- Fats: Be generous with “good” fats, such as olive oil, butter and avocados. Fats from meats, such as salmon and pork belly, should be eaten in moderation.
