The keto diet is known for its extremes.
Theyll also eat very few carbs.
On Keto?
Brown rice, oranges, and black beans are among the healthy foods that are not keto-friendly.
To cover your nutrient bases, talk to a registered dietitian who is knowledgeable about keto before starting.
A half-cup serving of cooked quinoa contains 17 g of net carbs, according to data from theU.S.
Department of Agriculture(USDA), which means it can easily eat up your carb budget.
Black Beans
Legumes like beans and lentils are pretty much off limits on keto.
Legumes are loaded with fiber and antioxidants, says Glassman.
Youll want to see to it to get fiber elsewhere in your diet, Glassman says.
Dark Chocolate
One of the most dietitian-recommended desserts,dark chocolate, is a keto no-no.
A 1-ounce square has 10 g of net carbs,according to USDA data.
One medium sweet potato has nearly 20 g of net carbs,according to USDA data.
Say goodbye tosweet potatotoast.
Yogurt
Even whole-milk yogurt can be the tipping point into consuming too many carbs especially sweetened versions.
If you need a yogurt fix, stick to a small amount of plain full-fat Greek yogurt.
A 3.5-ounce serving, for instance, has less than 5 g of carbs, perUSDA data.
Oranges
Avoiding orange juice because its too high in sugar?
But that means oranges have to go, too.
Just one navel orange alone has nearly 14 g of net carbs,according to USDA data.
For most people on a keto diet, thats just too high.
Hummus is a better choice, with under 3 g of net carbs per 2 tablespoons, perUSDA data.
Just stick to dipping cucumbers and celery not carrots.
Its a whole grain, which disqualifies it from keto eating plans.
