How to Stock Your Pantry: A List of Healthy Keto Foods

Hi my keto friends!

I am probably the quietest and most introverted person who has been pushed into the public eye. So I want to apologize for not doing more videos of my keto life and how my whole family eats keto. Many of you tell me they are helpful so I am trying to do more.

There are a lot of videos and I have weekly meeting with my clients at Keto-Adapted.com but when it comes to making a video of my pantry or my fridge, sometimes I think, “Who cares what I am cooking or what my pantry looks like?” But when I was at dinner with some of my keto coaches, they said, “I would watch any video you put out! I want to know how you do it all!”

So here I am. Finally giving you a guide to how I stock my pantry with healthy keto foods.

I have worked VERY hard to get COUPON CODES for all of you! So you can save on my favorite ketogenic food!

LIST OF HEALTHY KETOGENIC FOODS

All of my books have ketogenic food lists but I wanted to have the keto food list here so everyone can have success!

Many people think that I am cooking all the time but that is far from the truth. I work smarter, not harder! Hopefully my Ketogenic Food List will help you along your health journey!

16. SUPPLMENTS~
    1. There are a few supplements that we all take, even my boys have taken them for years. I keep them in the fridge so we remember to take them. We each have a different colored little dish and every morning, I fill them with the supplements.

KETOGENIC FATS

If you are doing keto to help with weight loss, one misconception is that Keto is a high fat diet and you must consume a lot of fat. This is not true. A high fat ketogenic diet is for therapeutic keto; I only use this approach when I work with clients who have epilepsy, seizures, anxiety or depression, they are doing keto for athletic reasons or suffer with Alzheimer’s. For more on this watch THIS video.

Do not get me wrong, I am not saying not to eat any fat, but to put a stick of butter in your coffee will not help you lose weight.

Choosing healthy fats is also essential to have success on your ketogenic journey. Being aware of PUFAs in fats is very important! Click HERE to learn more.

KETOGENIC FRUITS

Fruit should be considered “Nature’s Candy.”

Millions of years ago, our early ancestors experienced a fat-gaining phenomenon from fruit, which was nature’s candy, even though they consumed fructose (the type of sugar found in fruit) in the form of natural fruits rather than massive doses of high-fructose corn syrup as people do today. During the summer, they would consume large amounts of fruit and put on weight to survive the famine during the colder months. This led to a genetic mutation that resulted in a more significant uric acid response to fructose. The more fructose or sugar eaten, the more uric acid the body produces, and the liver and intestines’ ability to absorb sugar increases along with it. (That is a bad thing!) Many of my clients have experienced this snowball effect, which leads to a sensitivity to fructose absorption. Once they head down that path, it is almost impossible to stop.

The United States Department of Agriculture’s recommendation to eat two to five cups of fruits and vegetables a day needs to be updated for this reason. This suggestion is problematic. A few years ago, I read that most kids actually do get the recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables. Are you shocked to read this? Yep, they eat french fries, onion rings, and ketchup. It’s sad, but these forms of fruits and vegetables do fit the USDA guidelines. Will children reap health benefits from eating these foods? Absolutely not.

Eating three bananas a day isn’t a good idea, either. Studies show that today’s produce is relatively low in phytonutrients and much higher in sugar than it was in Paleolithic times. Consumers want fruits that taste sweet, so scientists modify them accordingly—to get kids to eat them, if nothing else. The sad part is that we think it’s a good thing when kids eat massive amounts of fruit.

KETOGENIC VEGETABLES

My clients have AMAZING results. Why? Because I am very strict with clients who want results FAST and it always works!

One of the things I do is tell them that I only allow 7 specific vegetables. Stick to watery vegetables instead of fibrous ones (obviously never starchy vegetables like carrots). I personally only eat Iceberg lettuce, mushrooms, asparagus, and I use onions and garlic for flavor.

KETOGENIC HERBS AND SPICES

Using spices and herbs are a great way to make your food pop with flavor!

Many times people think that ketogenic foods are boring and lack flavor. This is where I come in! Do not be afraid of using things like REAL ginger in your stir fry! Real ginger instead of powdered ginger will make your food taste restaurant quality!

KETOGENIC NUTS

Some of my recipes will use almond flour or coconut flour. These recipes should be used in moderation or on special occasions. My books and meal plans that focus on weight loss do not use nuts or nut flours.

Unsweetened cashew milk and unsweetened almond milk are not in this category since they are zero fat and almost zero carbs. I am referring to the actual nuts or the nuts ground into a flour. The reason is FAT plus CARBS = weight gain. What are nuts? A lot of fat and a lot of carbs. Especially cashews and pistachios which are why they are not listed!

KETOGENIC BAKING PRODUCTS 

I love a keto dessert. Having Keto options at home helps me say no to a slice of cake at a wedding. If I were to never let myself have a treat like keto ice cream (which I have some all the time) I wouldn’t be able to say no to sugary filled treats. I no longer feel deprived by allowing keto treats.

HOWEVER, most of the keto desserts I make are nut free like my flourless chocolate torte or my lava cakes. I have better results when my clients eat nut/nut flour free.

KETOGENIC NATURAL SWEETENERS

Something to watch out for when choosing a natural sweetener such as stevia are bulking agents.  The brand “Stevia In the Raw” add ‘bulking’ agents to make it useful for baking with such as maltodexterin. STAY AWAY from those products. Sugar has a glycemic index of 52 where maltodexterin has a glycemic index of 110!
