In a ketogenic diet we talk about eating carbohydrates and this value depends a lot on the metabolism of each person. Some with higher amounts of carbohydrates are already beginning to use fat as their main source of energy, while others must restrict it more to cause this metabolic change.
It is usually recommended that the amount of carbohydrates is less than 100 g per day, although it may have to be quite less . I insist that I speak of grams of carbohydrates, not of the food that contains it. For example, if we talk about 100 g of bread, we must know that it contains around 50 g of carbohydrates. Because tubers, cereals and legumes have a high percentage of carbohydrates, they are not included in the ketogenic menus, nor are most fruits, whose carbohydrate percentage can be classified as medium, and even several types of nuts exceed the proportion recommended: pistachios, cashews, peanuts ... To summarize, what you can eat on a ketogenic diet or keto diet is:

Certain vegetables Among the vegetables that should be consumed in small quantities, so as not to inhibit the ketosis process, we find carrots, beets and onions. |
