Bread and Pastries: These are typically made from wheat or other grains high in carbohydrates, which can quickly exceed the daily carb limit of the keto diet.
Pasta: Similar to bread, pasta is made from grains and is high in carbs, which can hinder the body’s ability to stay in ketosis.
Rice: As a staple grain, rice is another high-carbohydrate food that can disrupt the metabolic state required for the keto diet to be effective.
Potatoes: All forms of potatoes, including white, red, and sweet potatoes, are starchy and carb-dense, making them unsuitable for a ketogenic lifestyle.
Legumes: While nutritious, legumes like beans, lentils, and chickpeas are high in carbohydrates and can prevent the body from maintaining ketosis.
Fruit: Many fruits, except for certain low-glycemic berries like strawberries and raspberries, have high sugar and carb content that can impede ketosis.
Sugary Snacks: These include cookies, candies, and other desserts that are not only high in carbs but also in refined sugars, which are counterproductive for ketosis.
Sodas and Sweetened Beverages: Drinks high in sugar, like sodas and fruit juices, can quickly increase blood sugar levels and disrupt ketosis.
