Complete Keto Diet Grocery List: Foods To Eat And Avoid

Eat: Green Vegetables

The common saying on a keto diet is that if the vegetable is green, it’s a green light to eat as much as one likes. Green vegetables include dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, and chard, but they also include zucchini, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, and Brussel sprouts to name a few. Green vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients which makes them excellent in meals and for snacking throughout the day. Keto diets are notoriously lacking in snack options (thanks to cutting out processed foods), but green vegetables are terrific for satiating hunger. Beta-carotene and vitamin K produce enhanced mental abilities as well. Once deep into the keto diet, many people actually begin to crave these tasty veggies.

Eat: Avocado

High in healthy fat and low in carbs, avocados are a miracle food on a keto diet as they contain massive amounts of potassium, which makes the transition to a low carb diet smoother. Outside of the essential vitamins and minerals, avocados are also known to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart problems. They are amazing for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, and can even be turned into a low carb, keto friendly ice cream. Avocadoes have a net carbohydrate count of 2 grams per serving, with a whopping total of 7 grams of fiber, ideal for a healthy digestive system.
