Keto was the country’s most popular diet in 2020.

If you fancy finding out whether a keto diet could work for you, it’s time to learn the keto basics.

How does a keto diet work? What can and can’t you eat on a keto diet? And — perhaps most importantly of all — how exactly do you get your bread fix when carbs are off the menu?

Keto diet: what you can and can't eat

The keto (or ketogenic) diet involves drastically reducing your intake of carbohydrates. As such, it’s got some similarities to the famous Atkins and Paleo diets. Where keto differs is in its recommendations regarding fats. On a ketogenic diet, you actively increase your intake of fats.

If you’re sticking religiously to a keto diet, you’ll get:

A whopping 70% of your calories from fat

Less than 10% of your calories from carbs

Less than 20% of your calories from protein

With those percentages in mind, let’s take a look at the dos and don’ts of keto eating.

The foods you CAN eat on a keto diet

To get your fat intake up, fill your boots with any of the following:

Any kind of meat

Fatty fish like salmon, trout, mackerel or tuna

Eggs

Butter and cream

Full fat yogurt

Cheese

Nuts and seeds, including almond, walnuts, flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds

Healthy oils like olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil

Avocados

Low carb veggies — tomatoes, onions, peppers and basically anything green

The foods you CAN’T eat on a keto diet

And here are the high carb foods you should try your best to avoid:

Regular bread products

Grains, like rice, pasta and cereal

Fruit

Beans, peas, lentils and peanuts

Root vegetables

Sugary foods like pastries, cakes and biscuits

Sugary drinks like soda and fruit juice

Low-fat dairy

Alcohol

How does the keto diet work?

A keto diet has been shown to promote weight loss, particularly in the short term. When you don’t eat carbs for a few days, your body enters a state called ketosis. Usually, your body would use the glucose from carbs to give you energy. During ketosis, your body starts to break down fat and protein for energy instead. This helps you to shed those pounds.

Pretty impressive, right?
