“Processed meats such as sausage, hot dogs, bacon, and canned meats should be avoided as much as possible as they are loaded with carcinogens,” Rosen says. “These processed meats have zero carbs so people think they are fine to eat on keto,” says keto expert and global integrative health coach Karissa Long.
A ketogenic diet should consist of about 60–80% fat, 10–30% protein, and no more than 5–10% — or 20–50 grams — of carbs per day. Focus on high fat,...

Read More »A lot of tasty foods are OK for keto eaters—avocado, fish, and butter, for example. Some other delicious foods might be keto friendly, but people who've had weight-loss success on the keto diet think you should avoid them anyway. Here's why. People on the ketogenic (keto) diet are fastidious carbohydrate counters. After all, most keto eaters aim to eat around 20 net—or total—carbs in a day. With a number that low, every single bite counts. Low- and no-carb foods may be particularly alluring for that reason, but Jessica Rosen, certified holistic health coach and co-founder of Raw Generation , says you should be wary. “Not all zero-carbohydrate foods are smart choices for a keto dieter,” Rosen says. “ Artificial sweeteners may not have any carbs or calories, but they can negatively impact the healthy bacteria in your gut. That can lead to fat storage and digestive issues,” she says. “Degrading one’s gut bacteria can be particularly detrimental if you’re eating a diet high in difficult-to-digest proteins and fats.” (Here’s how the keto diet affects your body .)

“The Keto Diet was never meant to be used by people for intentional weight loss purposes,” said registered dietitian Beth Rosen, “It was used for children with epilepsy to stop seizures because it was meant to slow brain function.” The mechanism of the diet, for those purposes, is to quell seizures by “slowing down” the brain by going into ketosis – the state in which the body starts using fat as its primary energy source, instead of carbohydrate. Proponents of the diet say forcing the body to burn fat instead of carbohydrate is a healthy way to lose weight, however Rosen said the diet has not been shown to be effective for adults, and even if it was, most adults can’t stick to the maximum 15-30 grams of carbs per day that the diet demands. “People will say that they’re on the Keto diet and most of them will get more than 15 to 30 grams of carbohydrate a day, so their bodies won’t go into ketosis, which is what they’re trying to do,” she said.
