    If you are new to Keto, you are probably wondering where to start with this new WOE (way of eating)!  This list of Keto foods will give you a good idea of what are considered Keto-friendly.  

    In a nutshell, you want to stay away from sugar, carbs, processed foods, foods that are full of harmful preservatives, hormones and additives.  Many have a misconception that this is a low carb, low fat and high protein diet and that's not the case!  Keto is a low carb , moderate protein and high (healthy) fat diet.

    The first thing you'll want to do is calculate your macros.  You can use this macros calculator, to give you an idea of the percentage of fat, protein and carbs you should be consuming on Keto.  

    The typical range is somewhere in the area of 5-8% carbs, 20-25% protein and 60-75% fat, these are percentage of calories.  Balance is very important in staying in Ketosis, too many carbs will kick you out of Ketosis, too much protein will also kick you out.

    Protein

    Organic, grass-fed and unprocessed meats i.e.  meats that do not contain nitrates/nitrates, MSG (Monosodium glutamate), hormones or antibiotics are ideal.

    Beef/Steak

    Dark Meat Chicken and Turkey

    Pork, Ham, Bacon, Sausage

    Bison, Lamb, Rabbit

    Eggs (free-range if possible)

    Crab, Shrimp, Mussels, Oysters, Lobster, Squid, Tuna, Trout, Sardines, Halibut and Cod

    Healthy Fats

    Saturated Fats: Eat these. Some examples of these are grass-fed butter, ghee, lard, mayonnaise, cocoa butter, coconut butter, Coconut Oil  and  MCT Oil

    Monounsaturated Fats: Eat these!  Some examples of these are extra virgin olive oil, avocado, and macadamia nut oils.

    Polyunsaturated Fats: Naturally occurring polyunsaturated fats in animal protein and fatty fish are great for you, and you should eat these. These include beef tallow, duck fat, Processed polyunsaturated fats in “heart healthy” margarine spreads are bad for you.

    Trans Fats: Completely avoid. These are processed fats that are chemically altered (hydrogenated) to improve shelf life. Avoid all hydrogenated fats, such as margarine, as they’re linked to heart disease.

    Vegetables

    Artichokes, Asparagus, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Celery, Cucumber, Garlic, Kale, Leeks, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Okra, Onions, Peppers, Pumpkin, Radishes, Sauerkraut, Spinach, Tomatoes and Zucchini
