Ketosis meals are made from healthy high fat foods, moderate amounts of protein and very few carbs. All choices on the printable list of 180 keto foods are safe to use in your keto meal plan.

Ketosis meals are slightly different from the typical low carb plate. Keto meals are comprised mainly of fat and have more fiber than most low carb meals.

Because carbs are extremely limited, keto recipes use fruits and vegetables to fill the carb quota. This low carb keto food pyramid shows food portions and their importance.

Keto Fats

Your keto meal plan focuses on healthy sources of fat, like organic grass-fed butter, and almond, flax, olive or coconut oils.

Ketosis recipes often include avocado, coconut, ghee, nuts and seeds, eggs and salmon. Include only the healthiest fats during keto.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Eating fats from coconut or MCT oil products sheds even more stored body fat.

Coconut oil is essential for rapid fat-burning. Fats from coconut oil aren’t stored. Instead, coconut oil fats are used immediately for energy.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is one of the healthiest sources of fat for your low carb diet. It’s also your new rapid fat-burning secret.

Performance MCT Oil

Triple filtered, pharmaceutical grade, BPA-free container, USA-made, identical quality to the popular ‘Bulletproof’ brand.

Left Coast’s pure MCT oil is easier to absorb and digest than other brands. MCT converts into energy faster than other oils, ignites your body’s metabolic rate and helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol.

MCT oil is an easy way to increase your healthy fats. Add to salads, smoothies or flavored Bulletproof coffee for immediate, all day energy.

Avocado Oil

La Tourangelle Avocado Oil is all-natural, expeller-pressed, non-GMO and Kosher. La Tourangelle has a fruity roundness – great for both sweet and savory applications.

Keto Textures

Fat is creamy, so adding texture is important. When you cut the carbs, you also cut the crunch. Bring back your crunch by using bacon, leafy green veggies, cauliflower and broccoli in your keto recipes.

Keto Protein

Keto meal plans include only moderate amounts of protein. Extra protein converts to glucose, raises insulin and halts ketosis. Be careful.

A single serving of keto protein is the size of a deck of cards – about 4 ounces. Limit each ketosis recipe to one serving of protein.

Keto Fruit

Add small amounts of the lowest carb fruit to your keto meal plan – cautiously. Choose high fiber raspberries or blueberries, and measure portions carefully.

Technically, tomatoes and avocados are fruits, and highly desirable in keto recipes.

Keto Veggies

Veggies are a very important part of all keto meal plans. Low carb veggies are a huge source of vitamins and nutrients.

Popular keto veggies: bell peppers, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cucumbers and avocados / tomatoes (technically fruits).

Keto Fiber

Fiber does not spike insulin levels. High fiber foods are safe to eat during ketosis. When combined with fat in ketosis recipes, fiber suppresses appetite.

Testing for Ketosis

A measurable way to know if you’ve reached ketosis is ketone testing with strips. There are dozens of reliable brands. Check for the lowest prices: Keto Test Strips.

Keto test strips are an inexpensive way to know you’ve reached ketosis, but if the strip doesn’t register the presence of ketones, you can still be ketosis. Why is this?

• Sometimes urine samples are diluted from drinking lots of water.
• It’s also possible to burn away ketones during exercise.

Tip: Rely on eating the correct keto ratio of fat, protein and carbs, and use the keto testing strips as a “check-in.”

Use keto test strips to measure ketones, confirm ketosis and track your progress. Keto strips will help pinpoint the best range of net carbs to stay in fat-burning keto mode.
