Complete Keto Diet Grocery List: Foods To Eat And Avoid

Avoid: Potatoes

The low carb diet means that a person can eat whatever vegetables that they want without fear of repercussions. While this is true for a lot of vegetables, potatoes aren’t one of them. The starch in potatoes converts into sugars as the body breaks it down. Initially low in carbs, potatoes transform into an explosion of sugar that can increase glucose in the bloodstream throwing off ketosis. The good news is that many low-carb dieters have found workarounds to their favorite potato-based foods. Mashed cauliflower can replace mashed potatoes, and zucchini fries can replace french fries.
