Keto Shopping List

As you prepare for your keto meal plan, it is vital that you create a shopping list to ensure you have what you need to prepare keto friendly meals.  Here is a sample list with some suggestions where you can purchase your products from.  I've included links to Amazon because if you're like me, you'd rather shop online and have it delivered.  Click on the items that are unlined to take you to the Amazon and LAPD links. If not, print this handy list and head to your local grocers!

FATS (The most important part of the program)

Fats play a huge part in the ketogenic diet (they make up the majority of your calorie intake), so make sure you’re getting PLENTY of healthy fats.

 DAIRY

Make sure there is no sugar in any of these items.

FRUIT

Although Avocado is considered a fruit, it is also a good fat.  It is about 2g carbs per 100g.  This is recommended in moderation.

Green leafy vegetables are best on this program.  Try to avoid root vegetables which tend to be higher in carbohydrates.  The lower the carbs, the better your ketosis state will be.

VEGETABLES

MEATS

All cuts of the animal are good to eat, but too much protein can hamper ketosis.  Be careful about over consumption of protein.

CURED MEATS AND PREMADE (Check for sugar which aren’t allowed)

ORGAN MEATS

Although they aren’t as popular as they were in the past, organ meats are the most nutritious of all meat.  You may eat any of the following from any approved animal.

FISH

Buy wild caught fish instead of farm raised for optimal nutrition.

SHELLFISH AND OTHER SEAFOOD

DRINKS

Be careful of hidden sugars.  All drinks should be sugar free and unsweetened

HERBS AND SPICES

Avoid sugar or MSG in your seasonings.

NUTS AND SEEDS

OTHER (INCLUDING SWEETENERS)

LEGUMES

Almost all legumes are off limits, but small amounts of green beans and green peas are ok.
