  • Avoid grains like rice, pasta, wheat, corn, barley, or oats, as well as starchy vegetables like potatoes or sweet potatoes (although I guess corn counts as a vegetable), sugars, and processed foods.
  • Stay away from trans fats and vegetable oils, which are unnatural, refined oils that cause inflammation and go through oxidation.
  • When it comes to consuming carbs, try to only get them from natural food sources, like fruits and vegetables or whole nuts.
  • You should also avoid using excessive amounts of sauces, such as ketchup, sour cream, and barbecue sauce.
  • Although some alcoholic beverages have almost no net carbohydrates, alcohol will impede fat burning while it is processed by your body. Limit alcohol whenever you drink alcohol your body switches from burning fat for fuel to processing that alcohol trying to get rid of it immediately because it sees it as a toxin. If necessary, choose spirits like gin, unflavored rum, unflavored vodka, whiskey, tequila, scotch, bourbon, brandy, or cognac and limit your alcohol consumption to one drink per day.
  • Limit liver meat as it includes glycogen, a source of net carbohydrates
  • Stay away from processed meats, fans of the keto diet also enjoy cured and dried meats like bacon, salami, hot dogs, deli meats, jerky, and canned meats.
  • Anything that contains dextrose, starch, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or maltodextrin.
  • Avoid the following oils for cooking: vegetable, seed, and nut-based because when subjected to high heat, these oils become unstable and may release poisons.
  • Stay away from any spice mixtures that have added sugars.
  • Use cinnamon, curry powder, and chili powder less frequently because they may have higher carbohydrate content.
