Low Fat Cheese and Dairy
Keep the fat burning to provide energy to your body by avoiding low-fat dairy and low-fat dairy products. They include low-fat cheese and low-fat or reduced fat milk. This one is essentially a no-brainer since the principle goal of ketosis is to maximize fat intake. Not only are these products low in fat, they have a high carbohydrate content. Call it a double violation. Natural, high-fat dairy foods are better options for supporting ketogenesis. They include products such as hard cheese, sour cream, butter, and ghee. These foods are rich in good fats and relatively low in carbs when used in the quantities required. Besides, high-fat dairy will keep you fuller for longer.
