I may have failed to mention some low carb foods. This list is a general guide. If you want a food not listed, look up the carb count. Make sure it fits into your daily carb allowance. Also check the serving size.
The ideal carb count for a Ketogenic diet is 20 total carbs a day or under. Shop for the lowest carb foods. Reduce carbs and get plenty of fat and protein for fullness.

It is very important to have a good electrolyte drink/supplement. When you eat carbs your body holds onto water. When you cut carbs your body flushed water along with electrolytes. I have a discount link on my website lowcarbrevelation.com if interested.
Bottom line, Read labels carefully on packaged foods. Stay away from sugar and seed oils. Find the lowest carb foods possible.
It’s hard for the first few days but once you flush out and get into it it’s fun and the benefits are so worth it. I’d encourage any one to just give it a month
