A keto lifestyle is very low in carbohydrates and higher in fats, so it needs to be done carefully. The focus should be on quality fats, enough protein, fiber, hydration, and minerals.
5 things keto people should focus on:
1. Healthy fats — avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, eggs, and fatty fish.
2. Enough protein — chicken, eggs, fish, meat, tofu, or protein snacks.
3. Low-carb vegetables — zucchini, cucumber, greens, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms.
4. Electrolytes — magnesium, potassium, and sodium can matter more when carbs are very low.
5. Do not overdo saturated fats — keep the diet balanced and avoid making it only cheese, butter, and processed meat.
Harvard Health notes that keto can be restrictive and may carry risks for some people, including possible nutrient gaps if the diet is not varied.
