12 Things You Can (and Can’t) Eat On A Keto Diet
In case you’ve somehow missed it, the keto diet is the latest fad taking over the weight loss world. Followers (including Kourtney Kardashian and Halle Berry) claim the high-fat, low-carb eating plan has helped them shed pounds almost immediately — all while chowing down on bacon and cheese.
If your friends have gone #keto and you’re curious about what that exactly entails, the basic premise is fairly simple
The diet focuses on eating mostly fat, limited amounts of protein, and almost no carbs at all.
The “do” list includes: meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables that grow above ground, nuts and seeds, fats and oils, and some dairy products.
In terms of drinks, most keto diet guides advise people to stick to water and skip diet soda, even though it’s artificially sweetened. (No Diet Coke — sorry!)
