Surprising Foods To Avoid On A Ketogenic Diet

Canola Oil

Fats and oils are encouraged on the keto diet because they make it easier to hit ketosis. However, highly processed fats like canola and sunflower oils can actually cause more damage to fragile cells. These oils are refined at high temperatures, creating free radicals that can oxidize an individual's tissues. If someone following the ketogenic diet wants to enjoy the oily goodness allowed on this diet, they can enjoy less processed oils such as avocado and walnut oil. As a side benefit, these less refined oils also tend to be tastier and more versatile with a more desirable texture.
