A person may wish to avoid starchy vegetables, such as beets, potatoes, and sweetcorn. Keto diets restrict the amount of carbohydrates a person can eat. Instead, a person eats a high amount of fats and a moderate amount of protein. Keto diets aim to put the body into a state of ketosis. This occurs when the body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. Ketosis can lead to weight loss. Generally, a person following a keto diet should aim to limit their carb intake to no more than 50 grams (g) each day, according to one 2018 review . Therefore, not all foods are suitable for a keto diet, and that includes some vegetables. Learn more about counting carbs while following a keto diet here.
