Ketogenic diet: an overview

The keto diet is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carb diet. The goal is to help the body burn fat for energy instead of carbs.

Natural, unsweetened peanut butter tends to have the highest protein content of all the nut butters. It’s also a keto friendly option.

Research suggests that CLA can modestly help with weight loss. However, you’ll likely need to take it for 6-12 months to see any effects.

Avocados are a fruit high in healthy fat and fiber, making them a great fruit to have on keto or a low carb diet.

Animal protein tends to have more appetite suppressing fat, while plant protein tends to be lean and have more fiber, but contain more carbs.

Cheese is high in protein. Soft cheeses like Brie tend to have more fat, while aged cheeses like cheddar tend to be higher in calories.

Coconut oil contains lauric acid (C12), which won’t be as effective as MCT oils that contain caprylic acid (C8), or capric acid (C10).
