Good Morning Friends!
Below is a list of foods that a ketoer can eat. There may be a few more items that I am missing in other categories but this is the bulk of what I know or what I eat. In my opinion I wouldn’t eat nuts or berries for the first two weeks. Your body needs to adjust to receiving low carbs and sometimes we can go overboard on nuts and berries. I know that I have! They’re delicious!
