To get the best benefits from the Keto diet, you have to do it right and understand what you can and cannot eat. Although it’s better said what you do and you what you don’t eat. I read this a while ago and I believe it makes a lot of sense and helps your mind seeing the changes as your choice and not as an imposement.

So if someone asks you if you want some biscuits and you know that biscuit has 10 grams of sugar at least, it’s best you say ‘I don’t eat biscuits’ instead of saying ‘I can’t eat biscuits.’ This also trains your body & mind that it’s your choice and you don’t want to eat that but thus you will not be seeing it as a restriction imposed to you by this Keto lifestyle. Well then, you also avoid answering a series of questions of why you can’t eat and then having to explain about your Keto choices and how it works for you.

• Meat, fish, eggs – good fats and proteins.
• Vegetables growing above the ground and only berries as fruits. Beetroot, celeriac, carrots, onions, garlic all in moderation.
• High-fat dairy – Natural fats like butter, double cream, cheese, cheddar, coconut or olive oil.
• Almond, coconut milk – unsweetened
• Almond and Coconut flour as they are high in fibres.

If you are seriously thinking to start on a Keto diet, I highly recommend reading these two books:
