        1.AVOCADOS




        Avocados are high in potassium and other vitamins and minerals. They help improve your cholesterol levels. 1 medium avocado contains around 4gm of net carbs. If you are not a fan of avocado you can go for avocado oil instead.


        2. COCONUT OIL





        In studies, coconut oil is found to reduce abdominal fat. They also help in losing weight. A fat called MCT is found in coconut oil which, unlike other long-chain fats, are directly taken up by the liver and converted to ketones. Hence, increased ketone levels can help in reducing calorie consumption.


        3. CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES





        Cruciferous veggies contain higher amounts of vitamins K and A as compared to other vegetables. 
You can consume any cruciferous veggies in your keto diet, like kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts etc. They can also act as great substitutes, for example, mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes and kale chips instead of potato chips.



        4. EGGS




        Egg consumption satiates the feeling of hunger and thus help in lower calorie intake up to 24 hours. One large egg contains around 1gm of carbs which is perfect for a person on keto diet. It is the perfect superfood that is a must have on your diet.



        5.VIRGIN OLIVE OIL





        Extra virgin olive oil is the healthiest choice of oil for cooking, baking, deep frying or for salad dressing. It contains a high amount of stable fats and antioxidants. It also has numerous health-benefitting properties which helps in reducing pain and inflammation.
