The ketogenic diet is a widely popular diet that is attracting more and more people because of its ability to turn your body into a fat burning machine.
There are many potential benefits to a low carb (keto) diet including weight loss, health and performance increases.
The keto diet is designed specifically to put your body into ketosis, where your body starts using fat for energy.
For the keto diet to work it is important that you don’t go over your carb limits.
This can be a problem if you’re like I was and have a sweet tooth, or are prone to snacking.

No Preparation Required Keto Snacks
1) Nuts
Almonds, Peanuts, walnuts, pecans and macadamias are all great high fat, low carb keto friendly snacks when eaten in moderation. However if you are crushing cashew butter at all hours, you might be in for some trouble.
2) Pork Rinds
Pork rinds are a great on the go keto friendly snack option. You can make your own or buy a variety of flavours in stores. And best of all they’re naturally carb free!
3) Seeds
Sunflower, chia, pumpkin and flax seeds work well as a snack on their own or can also be turned into a quick and easy trail mix if you’re on the go.
4) Cherry Tomatoes
Eaten in moderation cherry tomatoes are a delicious keto friendly snack to enjoy.
5) Jerky
The perfect quick, high protein snack for any keto dieters arsenal. Jerky is one of my favourite on the go snacks and can be easily paired with other high fat foods to add some variety.
6) Sardines
High in fats and proteins sardines are an easy keto snack. They’re not my favourite food in the world but I know a lot of keto dieters love them, so they had to be part of the list.
7) Nut Butter
Grab your veggie sticks and start dipping! Nut butters are an easy and tasty snack, when you’re running low on time.
8) Pickles
Not only are pickles a great addition to burgers, they make a really quick and easy keto friendly snack. You can also try making your own pickles and adding different flavours.
9) Olives
Not everybody likes olives, I personally do and they are great to snack on with such a low carb content.
10) Bacon
Who doesn’t love bacon! In fact Dan Quibell did an experiment where he only ate bacon for 30 days straight.
11) Pepperoni Slices
Just like bacon, pepperoni is good anytime. You can even try combining it with other high fat foods like olives and cheeses.
12) Hummus
Hummus is a great way to add a bit of flavour to your veggie snacks. Happy dipping!
13) Dark Chocolate
Normal store bought chocolate is a big no no for a keto diet. Dark chocolate is a great way to get that chocolate fix. Look for higher cocao percentages, normally anything above 86% is good.
14) Sugar Free Jello
If you’ve got a sweet tooth than sugar free jello is a great snack to get your fix.
