11 Things I Wish I’d Known Before Going Keto

Of course, a quick search of the internet will help you pull together a really comprehensive list of keto friendly foods in addition to the examples provided above.

3. Keto is not a diet of deprivation
While grains, starches and sugars are generally eliminated as part of a keto diet, there are just as many items that have previously been unacceptable or discouraged when following a standard western diet that will become your go-to staples. No more cutting the fat off your steak; Cream? Make it full fat, please; Bacon, smashed avo and eggs for breakfast… coming right up!

Food becomes more appetising as your palate changes and can better distinguish between sweet, sour, salty and bitter and savour the individual flavour nuances as they roll over your tongue. On a ketogenic diet, many people find their senses become heightened, especially taste.
