Fruit and the keto diet
Even though fruit has excellent nutritional qualities, you should be very careful when you're consuming fruits on keto. That's because most fruits are high in a sugar called fructose. This could turn off the fat burning process when you're trying to lose weight; not what you want!
Avocado pears are low in carbohydrate content. They contain an abundance of healthy fats. They can be eaten as they are in savoury dishes - think avocado and prawn salad.
They are full of vitamins too so don't disregard them when thinking about fruit in the keto diet. Having said that, avoid sun-dried tomatoes.
The berries with the lowest carbs are raspberries and blackberries; followed by strawberries and then blueberries. You can add them to keto ice cream, decorate keto cheesecake or have them as a fruit salad.
Citrus fruits are full of fibre. Which means that oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit can be included on your keto shopping list. We don't tend to eat lemons and limes due to the sour taste. Instead use these fruits as a flavouring for puddings and desserts. Like lemons and limes, oranges, clementines and grapefruits are full of vitamin C which we need to stay healthy.
The flesh, sometimes called coconut meat, is full of healthy fats. It is also lower in carbs than citrus fruits and blueberries
Pomegranate is a sweet fruit and tastes delicious when eaten alone or added to salads. Pomegranates are quite high in carbs but are not the quickest fruit to eat. Because it takes time to eat them it is harder to overeat them.
