Adam’s advice for keto

It is evident that drinking water is crucial as well as fasting. But what are the best and most important foods to have when it is time to eat? So long food contains no sugar or an excess amount of carbs, almost anything can be had on keto. However, there are some go to ingredients and foods for those on keto. Coconut oil is arguably one of the most important things to eat, whether one is on the keto diet or not. Coconut oil is dubbed as a superfood as it contributes higher to energy, increased metabolism, and is good for blood sugar preventing diabetes since it battles insulin resistance (O’Connell). There are some a few top choices for fats, the mains ones are mayo and avocados. Furthermore, some popular protein options are eggs, beef, steak or porkchops, and chicken wings or chicken thighs. Even though, chicken is typically seen as a lean protein, it can be used wisely in the keto diet so long it still has the chicken skin intact. Although there is a vast amount of great options, it is hard to be on keto and not experience cravings. Personally, I love Asian food. I was constantly craving stir fry’s, fried rice, and ramen. Luckily for me these can be made keto friendly at home. I substituted zucchini noodles for actual noodles, and I grated cauliflower for my “fried rice” instead of using actual white or brown rice. A big part of a successful diet is dealing with cravings. With keto, it is possible to enjoy delicious food so long they are modified accordingly. The keto diet can be a fantastic alternative to other diets, it has plenty of potential to get creative with its dishes and is something everyone should look forward to before starting it.
