in today's video i'm going to be giving you an extensive list
of foods that contain zero carbs or carbohydrates
suitable for a low carb or keto diet now when i was first brainstorming this
video and seeing if anyone had done something
similar a lot of the top results on youtube were
very misleading and honestly clickbait there was one
video that had over four million views that
had watermelon on their list of zero carb
foods now i am not here to bully you today's video is going to get
straight to the point i am going to give you a list of 75 foods that contain
less than one total carb per serve and then i'm going to give you a list of 31
foods that contain less than five total carbs
per serve and make sure you stick around until the end of the video
because i'm gonna be hooking you up with a free downloadable copy of both of
these lists that you will not want to miss

squarespace.com forward slash health coach kait to start your free trial
today and one final thing before we get
started if you aren't really sure why you should be limiting carbohydrates
i have a whole other video on the benefits of a low carb diet so if
you're a little bit unsure pause this video check this one out
and then come back the first group of foods that have
zero carbs is meat all types of meat contain
zero carbohydrates beef chicken pork turkey lamb bison duck
rabbit deer and kangaroo with meat you want to watch out for anything
that has been pre-marinated or comes with any sauce
these are usually filled with sugar and will not be zero carb
and with bacon more often than not there is added sugar as a preservative
now if there is less than one gram that's not really worth
fussing over but some brands will have more added so make sure to check your
labels and then we have seafood salmon
sardines mackerel tuna shrimp crab lobster cod trout baths anchovies and
herring these all contain zero carbohydrates
cheese most cheeses are only going to have trace amounts of carbohydrates
with less than one gram total carbs per serve
however some softer cheeses such as cottage cheese and ricotta
are slightly above this threshold zero carb cheeses include
american cheese blue cheese parmesan feta
cheddar cream cheese goat cheese monetary jack
mozzarella swiss provolone brie gouda and tulumi other animal products
chicken eggs duck eggs fish eggs also known as roe
beef bone broth chicken bone broth fish bone broth and
cod liver fats and oils butter ghee beef tallow coconut oil avocado oil
olive oil mct oil flax seed oil cod liver oil palm oil duck fat
chicken fat and bacon grease now you may have noticed that i didn't
include any oils such as vegetable oil canola oil
grapeseed oil soybean oil corn oil and yes these oils do have zero carbs
however when the type of fat that is in these oils is refined
it becomes extremely inflammatory for the body
so these oils should be avoided at all costs and i'm not going to put them on
my list the oils and fats i previously mentioned
thumbs up they're all great if i didn't mention it avoid it sauces
now sauces will vary greatly depending on
the brand most generic brands have added sugar and
other ingredients you want to stay away from
but if you can find the following sauces with no added sugar
from brands such as primal kitchen and undivided food co
they will probably be less than one gram total carbs per serve
mayonnaise sour cream ketchup mustard aioli
vinegar tartar sauce butter sauce soy sauce
and barbecue sauce vegetables it is impossible for any vegetable
or fruit for that matter to truly be zero carb
however the following vegetables have less than one gram
total carbs per serve bok choy arugula iceberg lettuce romaine lettuce butter
lettuce pickles kale swiss chard and celery fruit
unfortunately there are no fruits that contain
less than one gram total carb per serve and that is my list of 75 foods that
contain zero carbohydrates now i am going to
give you my list of foods that contain less than five
grams total carbohydrates so these are foods that don't contain
zero carbs or only trace amounts they contain slightly higher but are
still extremely low in the grand scheme of
things and suitable for a low carb or keto diet
vegetables asparagus broccoli cabbage cauliflower celery cucumber
eggplant green bell pepper mushrooms and zucchini
fruit olives and coconut flakes now i want to give a special shout out
to avocados as well because today we are counting total
carbs and avocados do not quite make the cut however they are
still a great food to include on a low carb or
keto diet and i do not think they should be
avoided just because they are slightly over the threshold nuts and
seeds macadamia nuts almonds brazil nuts
hazelnuts hemp seeds walnuts sesame seeds
pecans peanuts chia seeds peanut butter almond butter macadamia
butter flax seed pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds
cheese and dairy as i mentioned before some soft cheeses are slightly higher in
carbs cottage cheese ricotta and heavy cream
