top5 FOOD KETO DIET


As with any other diet plan out there, it is best that you consume a variety of foods (not just the ones on this list) over time. This will help ensure that you are eating a balanced diet and that you are meeting your nutritional needs.

  1. Salmon
    Whether wild or farmed, salmon is rich in fat, making it an important staple in a ketogenic diet. Wild salmon is especially rich in omega-3 fatty acids and both are low in saturated fat. Other highlights are that salmon is rich in protein and a good source of vitamin B12, potassium, iron and vitamin D. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for baked salmon from MyNetDiary’s premium recipe collection.
  2. Eggs
    Eggs are an affordable source of protein and fat. While salmon can be an expensive food to eat several times a week when following keto, eggs are on the opposite end of the spectrum. They are versatile and can be incorporated into a keto diet plan in many different ways. Look for some classic recipes such as eggs, quiche, egg salad, frittata or a hard-boiled egg alone. Eggs are a healthy keto food because they are good sources of selenium, choline, phosphorus and vitamin B 12.

  3. Cauliflower (my favorite keto health food).
    My family can attest that I love cauliflower. It sneaks into our fridge every week because it’s tasty, nutritious and versatile. If you’re new to the low carb scene, you’ll want to experiment with cauliflower. It can be mashed in place of potatoes or blended into something that looks like snow, also known as cauliflower rice. It can also be used as a snack or mixed with almond flour and made into pizza dough. Cauliflower is rich in dietary fiber, B vitamins, phytonutrients and has a more neutral flavor than broccoli.

  4. Vegetables
    Vegetables such as spinach, kale and chard are often hailed as some of the healthiest. They are rich in vitamins (A, C, E, K), minerals, dietary fiber and phytonutrients and are very low in calories. In fact, all green vegetables have less than 5 g net carbs per serving, making them very keto-friendly.

  5. Avocado
    Avocados occupy a prominent place in the keto diet. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, contain a large amount of vitamins and minerals (such as potassium) and help maintain healthy eyes thanks to their lutein and zeaxanthin content. Half an avocado contains 1 gram of net carbohydrates. Avocados can be blended into smoothies, sliced over a salad or mashed into guacamole. Here’s a salad recipe with avocado dressing.
