Complete Keto Diet Grocery List: Foods To Eat And Avoid

Avoid: Grains

Once processed foods are cut from the diet, the next step is to start cutting grains. This includes wheat, rice, oats, barley, corn, and quinoa. These high carbohydrate grains affect the gut microbiome which can cause bloating and irritable bowels. When part of a balanced, nutritious diet, whole grains can be beneficial, however, most people don’t live with the reality of a balanced diet leading to the keto diet craze in the first place. For the maximum benefits of the diet, cutting out grains will allow your body to restore itself and get back to normal before reintroducing the healthy grains back into the diet.
