In this video we’re talking about the keto beginner grocery list.
We’ve all been there.
If you haven’t started on the ketogenic diet yet then you will go there too.
And if you’ve been on the ketogenic diet you’ve all been in the first couple weeks
of it going oh my gosh what am I going to eat?
I’m hungry what do I eat?
I don’t want to eat these terrible foods that are in my house and things like that.
So we have to make sure that we have some of these you know quick go to foods.
So what I want to do is just discuss all the different foods that you all must have in
your house if you’ve starting the ketogenic diet.
And at the end of this video I have a favor to ask not only for myself but also for everyone
else in the community so we can all help each other out following the ketogenic diet very
successfully.
So let's go ahead and talk about these foods now.
First is cream cheese.
Your cream cheese is a huge one that is on the ketogenic diet if you’re going to make
fat bombs.
If you’re going to make deserts, if you’re going to make a lot of the different foods
out there they involve cream cheese.
Make sure that you have cream cheese ready to go because a lot of the recipes you will
find in a ketogenic diet involve cream cheese.
Next is butter.
You know having lots of butter is good because it is a big quality fat.
It’s good for you especially in the ketogenic diet you’re always trying to push those
fats so good grass-fed butter is important.
Heavy whipping cream is a very staple food while on the ketogenic diet as well.
Cheese is another good one as well.
Again you’re getting lots of good fats here and pretty much all the types of cheese.
You know mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, all the different one because you’re going
to find that a lot of different recipes are calling for cheese.
Make sure you’re stocked up on cheese.
And eggs is a huge one.
My goodness I didn’t ever know.
When I first started the ketogenic diet I had no idea on how many eggs we would actually
go through.
You know one of the things I like to make is cloud bread.
You can make cloud bread pizzas you can make all different types of flavored breads with
this cloud bread.
You can put cheese on it.
So anyway it’s really good but one of the things it does it absolutely consumes all
the eggs in the household.
So you a lot of people also do hard boiling eggs eating eggs for breakfast.
I find that a lot of people are consuming enormous amounts of eggs on the ketogenic
diet.
So anyway you’re going to find that many of the recipes call for many eggs.
So make sure you have lots of eggs.
Next is bacon.
Once again you know I have a ketogenic cookbook that I use and its funny because I think every
third recipe actually calls for bacon.
So anyway make sure you have bacon in the house because many of the recipes are going
to call for that.
Next is sweeteners make sure that you have monk fruit which is great one, stevia, erythritol
is a great one and last is xylitol okay.
The first three monk fruit, stevia, and erythritol are going to be the best but xylitol is great
too.
You can mix some of that in.
As a matter of fact I like to use a erythritol and xylitol blend.
And I’ll try to put that in the description below that one I use.
Next here is salmon, good fatty meat there.
Salmon good fatty fish I should say.
Chicken, make sure you’re getting some good quality pasture raised chickens there.
Grass fed beef you know its going to be high in fat, high in K2.
Want to make sure that you get that good grass-fed beef in.
Coconut flour and almond flour are pretty much the two staple flours that you’ll use
on the ketogenic diet.
Make sure you have those in the house.
Avocados are a huge one they’re a good go to food.
I like to actually pack them in my lunch and just put a little bit of sea salt on them.
They’re easy to throw on any meal if you're just trying to get some more fat in some good
quality fat they taste great.
Like I said I like them plain with just a little bit of sea salt on them and I’m perfectly
happy with that.
But, also on the ketogenic diet you can make avocado ice cream, you can make avocado pudding.
There’s so many different avocado recipes out there because they’re great quality
fat.
So make sure you ordering up avocados.
And then next here is spinach.
Spinach is a really important food to have on the ketogenic diet as well.
Cabbage is an easy go to.
Lots of different recipes are calling for that.
Cauliflower is a huge one.
A lot of people are using cauliflower in so many ways.
Cauliflower crust pizzas, cauliflower mashed up which is also good it’s almost like a
mashed potato.
You can use cauliflower fried rice which is good as well so anyway.
Cauliflower is a huge staple in the ketogenic diet, make sure you have it.
Next here is asparagus.
Asparagus is great.
If your wrap asparagus in bacon its even better so make sure you have bacon and asparagus.
Put a little parmesan cheese on that its great.
Sea salt is a really important thing to make sure you have in your house when you are doing
the ketogenic diet because you’re going to want to get those extra minerals in especially
in the beginning.
So when we look at sea salt it has eighty trace minerals in it so we want to make sure
we’re getting the sodium, the potassium, magnesium, calcium so we want to make sure
w’re using that sea salt.
Sprinkling that sea salt right on those avocados is a great way to get a great fat and also
get those minerals in.
Next is no salt.
I usually will put some sea salt and some no salt on my avocado.
No salt is basically potassium it is literally called no salt.
You can get it in a container in the store.
That’s a great one to have so you can keep those potassium levels up as well.
Olive oil is great, great fat.
Coconut oil is a good fat to have.
And macadamia nuts are a great go to if you just need a snack throughout the day sometime.
So anyway these are some of my top foods that I would say you just have to have in your
house if you are starting the ketogenic diet.
And what I’d like you to do to help me out and also to help the rest of the community
out is share with us some of the top foods you have in your house while following the
ketogenic diet.
So that no only can I find success with it but the whole community can find success and
we can help each other out.
So put that in the comments section.
