Summary

Today, I’m going to cover the best keto foods to keep in your refrigerator. This will not only make keto easy but also healthy.

The ketogenic diet is a low-carb diet. But that’s not enough to necessarily make it healthy. For example, if you’re on the keto diet, you could still go to a fast food restaurant without going off the plan. That’s why I like the Healthy Keto diet, which focuses on high-quality, nutrient-dense, low-carb foods.

Ultra-processed foods are very quickly replacing our traditional foods. These foods have been severely altered to the point they don’t resemble food anymore.

The go-to foods you should always have in your home on keto are not only low-carb, but they’re the opposite of ultra-processed.

The best keto foods to keep in your home:

1. Grass-fed meats

2. Pasture-raised organic eggs

3. Soil-based vegetables and lettuce

4. Homemade salad dressings

5. Grass-fed butter

6. Grass-fed organic cheese (raw if possible)

7. Avocados

8. Organic berries

9. Wild-caught salmon, sardines, and other fatty fish

10. Shellfish

11. Organic walnuts and pecans

12. Organic Valencia peanut butter

13. Organic celery

14. Raw sauerkraut

15. Organic low-sugar bacon

0:00.0	In this will make it very important 15 keto foods that you must keep in your
0:07.5	refrigerator and this will make it very easy to do keto and also very healthy to
0:11.6	do keto because I don't recommend just a regular ketogenic diet.
0:16.0	I recommend the healthy version of the ketogenic diet.
0:19.5	But the essence of the ketogenic plan is low carbohydrate.
0:23.7	And this means you could even do keto going to a fast food restaurant,
0:28.4	but it doesn't necessarily make it the healthy version.
0:31.3	Did you realize that 71 to 83 percent of all the calories
0:36.3	sold in the grocery store are what's considered ultra processed foods? So this is food that has been severely altered to the point
0:46.1	where it doesn't actually resemble food anymore and I'm talking about modified
0:51.7	starches. They might take some soybean, right, and extract the oil with all
0:56.7	sorts of solvents and chemicals, and then you end up with these vegetable oils. So we have all the cereals, the breads, the snack foods, and you have the
1:06.9	canned foods, and you have all the soda drinks, and unfortunately these ultra processed foods are very quickly replacing our traditional foods.
1:16.8	So these 15 foods I'm going to talk about are not only low-carb, but they're the opposite of ultra-processed foods. So let's start with

1:35.6	Compared to things that you would want to limit,
1:37.8	like the grain-fed beef or grain-fed chicken. The more grains that are fed to these animals, the higher they are
1:45.4	in omega-6 fatty acids, which are inflammatory. The grass-fed meats are a little with protein, the cofactors, the bio-available nutrients like iron and zinc,
1:57.8	which are way better in that form than you would get from plant-based minerals. Number two, eggs, not commercial eggs, but
2:06.4	pastored-raised organic eggs. You have one of the best sources of the active form of Vitamin A retinol. You have one of best sources of the active form of vitamin A, retinol.
