About the Keto Diet
The Keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carbohydrate eating plan. It aims to shift the body's metabolism away from glucose and toward fat and ketones, a state known as ketosis.
Pro Tips
- 1Always check labels for hidden sugars in processed meats and dressings.
- 2Focus on high-quality fats like avocado, olive oil, and nuts to stay full longer.
- 3Keep pre-portioned nuts and cheese in your bag to avoid high-carb temptations.
- 4Stay hydrated; the Keto diet can have a diuretic effect, so drink plenty of water.
- 5Prioritize fiber-rich vegetables like celery and cucumber to support digestion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I eat fruit as a snack on Keto?+
Most fruits are too high in sugar, but small portions of berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) can fit into your daily carb limit.
How many snacks should I have per day?+
On Keto, it is best to eat when you are hungry. Many people find they need fewer snacks as their body becomes fat-adapted and hunger levels stabilize.
Are all nuts keto-friendly?+
While most nuts are okay, some like cashews and pistachios are higher in carbs. Macadamias, pecans, and walnuts are the best choices for ketosis.
