Holy keto batman! SO MANY people are curious about how I’m eating right now! I don’t like to label how I eat–so I’ll say I’m ketoISH. I feel good eating high fat, so I’m going with it! I don’t follow food rules, I don’t obsess, and I eat what I want when I’m hungry.
If you’re new to Keto, start with this post.
So what fats am I eating? What are the RIGHT fats you should eat on Keto?
There IS a difference between good fats and bad fats–but probably not what you’ve been taught. Most of us have been taught to fear the cholesterol in eggs and that saturated fats are BAD.
I’m not going to go into the science of this right now, but if you’re interested in learning more–read Eat the Yolks and Cholesterol Clarity.
Here’s a list of fats to enjoy on Keto:
- Nuts and seeds like macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, etc. I recommend eating raw, unsalted nuts. Macadamia nuts have the highest fat content!
- Avocado
- Whole eggs (I typically eat 3 whole eggs/day)
- Full fat cheese
- Grass fed beef/lamb (get a subscription to Butcher Box!)
- Wild salmon
- Grass fed butter
- Ghee
- MCT oil
- Coconut oil
- Olive oil
- Organic heavy cream (this is SO GOOD in Shakeology!!)
- Cream cheese
- Palm oil
