We'll say it: Halle Berry is a genetically superior human, and her unwavering commitment to health certainly doesn't hurt. Berry is one of the many devout celebrity followers of the popular ketogenic diet and regularly shares her favorite keto-friendly meals and recipes with her 5.9 million Instagram followers. Some of her go-to recipes are pulled from Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cooking ($22) by Maria Emmerich; others from Ruled.Me, a keto diet guide; and for the remainder, we've guessed the exact ingredients based on her photos. Keep in mind that she shared these recipes over the course of many weeks, meaning that a combination of the following 14 meals likely makes up a typical 24 hours of eating for Berry. Find out what Halle Berry eats on the keto diet below.

Breakfast

@halleberry

Berry doesn't share many breakfast recipes, so it's possible that she's supplementing her diet with intermittent fasting, which can apparently accelerate the results of the keto diet. The one outlier is the above Purium greens and beets smoothie, which is most likely made with Purium's More Greens ($43), meant to aid those looking to maintain healthy blood glucose levels naturally.

Lunch

@halleberry

Ingredients: Mixed greens, spiralized zucchini noodles, tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs without the yolk.

@halleberry

Ingredients: This recipe was pulled from Emmerich's cookbook and contains canned tuna or salmon, store-bought or homemade mayonnaise, fresh chives, sea salt, cherry tomatoes, and large Boston lettuce leaves.

@halleberry

Ingredients: Ground beef or turkey (either way, we assume it's organic and grass-fed), cheese, pickles, and lettuce.

@halleberry

Ingredients: A small portion of green beans and a keto-friendly bolognese sauce, like this one from Headbanger's Kitchen.

@halleberry

Ingredients: Guacamole, steak, and a salad of mixed greens, radishes, peppers, and cucumbers.

Dinner

@halleberry

Ingredients: Berry found this vegetarian keto club salad recipe on Ruled.Me. It contains hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, cubed cheddar cheese, and romaine lettuce. The dressing is made with sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and milk.

@halleberry

Ingredients: This arctic char with olive salsa recipe also comes courtesy of Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cooking. The char is prepared with sea salt and ground black pepper and is cooked in coconut oil, along with finely chopped onions. The olive salsa over the top consists of pitted green olives, pitted purple or black Greek olives, tomatoes, onions, capers, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, coconut vinegar, fresh basil, dried oregano, and dried rosemary.

@halleberry

Ingredients: This instant white chicken chili also comes courtesy of Ruled.Me. It contains boneless, skinless chicken thighs, onion, canned diced green chilies, salt, cumin, oregano, black pepper, butter, frozen cauliflower, chicken broth, sour cream, and heavy whipping cream.

@halleberry

Ingredients: For a more filling keto-friendly lunch, try the vegetarian loaded zucchini skins from Ruled.Me. The roasted zucchini boats are filled with pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped chives, and mushrooms cooked with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and Worcestershire sauce.

Snacks

@halleberry

Ingredients: One of Berry's go-to snacks, prosciutto and arugula roll-ups from Ketogenic Cooking, contains just prosciutto, arugula, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and green goddess dressing.

@halleberry

Ingredients: Grape tomatoes, cream cheese, green onions, fresh basil, sea salt, and lemon juice for the filling.

How long does it take to develop starvation ketosis?

STARVATION KETOSIS when hepatic glycogen stores are exhausted (eg after 12-24 hours of total fasting), the liver produces ketones to provide an energy substrate for peripheral tissues. ketoacidosis can appear after an overnight fast but it typically requires 3 to 14 days of starvation to reach maximal severity.
