5 Foods To Avoid On Keto - With Their Substitute

-

 


1. SWEET POTATOES


Sweet Potatoes are high in starch. A medium size sweet potato may contain over 20 gm of carbs. Cauliflower is a perfect substitute for it. A cup of its florets contain 3.2 gm of carbs.



2. DAIRY MILK


Whole dairy milk are rich in fat. One cup contains around 12 gm of carbs. If you want to sip on milk or want to make a refreshing smoothie, go for almond milk, which contains 1 gm of net carbs per cup.



3. GREEN PEAS


Peas are very high in starch. One cup of peas contains about 14 gm of carbs. You can substitute it with non-starchy veggies like, broccoli(2.9 gm of carbs per cup) or zucchini(2.6 gm of carbs per cup)



4. SODA


Soda contains high amounts of sugar. A single can of coke contains around 35 gm of sugar, which is not at all suitable for a keto diet. Unsweetened sparkling water is the best substitute for soda drinkers. Choose naturally flavored versions of sparkling water like those from Waterloo. It contains zero carbs.



5. BEER



Beer is packed with carbs. Light beer is a better choice, however, many light beers contain 5-6 gm of carbs per can. So, it is important for you to choose your light beer wisely and try to drink as less as possible.
