What Foods Can You Eat on The Keto Diet?

February 17, 2022

You may have seen your favorite influencer talking about the “keto diet,” but what does it actually mean?

A ketogenic diet (more commonly referred to as “keto”) has grown a strong presence in the dieting community over the last few years, but why is it so popular? One simple answer is: a keto diet allows those following the diet to indulge in delicious fats (like bacon, avocado, and cheese) while still maintaining a calorie deficit due to strictly restricting other food groups such as carbohydrates.

If you are new to the keto diet or want to learn more about it, you’ve come to the right place! Cleveland Kitchen offers many foods and recipes for those that follow a keto meal plan.

Keto Diet For Beginners

What Is A Keto Diet?

A ketogenic diet is an eating plan with a low carb intake and high fat intake. In other words, your carbohydrate consumption is significantly reduced and you eat more healthy fats and an adequate amount of proteins.

There are various types of keto diets, but some noteworthy ones include:

Ketosis

Another element of the keto diet is ketosis. After significantly lowering your carbohydrate intake, your body’s supply of glucose is lowered. Glucose is one of the main sources of energy for your body.

Due to the lack of carbs in you, your body enters a metabolic state called ketosis. During ketosis, your body uses fats as a source of energy –– instead of carbohydrates. Some studies suggest that this state allows you to burn stored fat and also feel less hungry after meals.

The Do’s And Don’ts Of Keto Dieting

To properly follow a keto diet, you will have to limit some of your food options. This meaning you should skip or significantly restrict:

Luckily, the keto diet gives you a wide range of other delicious, natural, and easy-to-make foods to try. Some of our favorite keto options you can indulge include:

Another keto-friendly pick is sauerkraut. By fermenting cut cabbage in its own juices with added spices or other vegetables, sauerkraut is infused with delicious flavors, beneficial nutrients, essential vitamins, and gut-boosting bacteria.
