Foods for KETO diet ~~

[InNeedOfMotivation]

OK i went shopping yesterday, knowing i wanted to go on the KETO diet.

Here is what i bought:

8 KG of chicken breast.
2 KG of red meat.
1 KG of bacon rashers.
10 Tins of tuna.
30 Eggs.
Bag of carrots.

I drink only water.

I need to pick up some Protien shakes, some carb free bars, and some flax.

Apart from that, what other common foods are zero carbs ?

Also, i have no idea what abounts of these foods i should eat per day, today i had 6 bacon rashers, 2 eggs, 1 tin of tuna and 500g of red meat.

And how important is regular gym visits for this diet? is it a must ?

Carrots???

Unless you got a huge pet iguana, you need to toss the carrots.

They're a high glycemic carb, something u DO NOT WANT while on a keto diet.

Well, cheese doesn't have *zero* carbs, but pretty close depending on the type. This may be something you want to add. Just make sure you look at the labels so you can keep track of how many carbs you're eating.

Diet Soda such as Diet Coke, Diet Sprite, etc have zero carbs. I was very excited to discover this after a 4 days of drinking nothing but water.

beef jerky, unsalted mix nuts-helps when you need a snack food.
Lots of people get pork rinds but i tend to stay away from foods like that.

natural peanut butter-when you get the craving for something sweet.

Pork rinds are one of the best foods you can eat when on a keto diet. They are carb free, and have only 5 grams of fat per serving. They are basically a free food.

Vegetables are a need. Most of your carbs should come from them. Grab broccoli, okra, Romaine Lettuce (my personal favorites) A little bit of onion and tomatoe is ok too.

Tuna is awesome, but don't overdue it. I was eating way to much tuna and the protein bulk threw me out of ketosis. Remember that even the things that say zero carbs can still have traces.

On the diet cola's, STAY AWAY.
1) If it has caffeine, your hurting yourself.
2) Sugar free does not mean artificial sweetener free.
You need to avoid: Sugar, corn syrup, honey, maltose, dextrose, fructose, lactose, sorbitol, aspartame. The later can inhibit weight loss.

Also remember that drinking anything other than water does not count towards your daily amount of water that you NEED to take in. Drinking decaf, unsweet tea is perfectly fine, but a gallon of it a day does not count as a gallon of water.

Also, remember that artifical sweetners still trigger insulin responses and they still screw with your blood sugar. If you want a sugar substitute, get a box of Splena from your local grocery store. That stuff is awesome, and it fits in with keto diets.

Ground Turkey or turkey breast is good too. Lots of protein and no carbs. Also if you get sick of tuna you might also try canned salmon or crab meat. Pretty much the same as tuna as far as protein, fat and calories, and both has 0 carbs.
