Fruits On A Ketogenic Diet ?

Fruits On A Ketogenic Diet ?



If you want a short answer, it's a NO.
We can not consume fruits on the Keto Diet, they contain a big amount of sugar called fructose and it's what we're trying to avoid so we can get into Ketosis and start to lose weight. Fructose can spike insulin more than Glucose could do.

Even a medium apple contains 19 grams of sugar, apples may be healthy but they're not good when it comes about a Ketogenic diet.
Same for Fruit Juices, we never want to consume them, they're pasteurized which means that anything that potentially could be left is pretty much killed especially the enzymes; So all what you gonna be getting is concentrated fructose sugar. You also want to avoid the corn syrup they usually add to most of the processed juices.

BUT, good news! Berries are still recommended, as long as they are taken in a very small amount (1/2 to one cup daily). Low glycemic index fruits as berries will not be much dangerous on a ketogenic diet but we still want to consume them in moderation to avoid being kicked out of Ketosis.

That's why you're going to be so level headed and your brain is gonna love it, your memory is gonna be more sharper, and you'll be much more focused. Ketones are the original fuel source of the brain , our bodies long ago ran on ketones, they're originally designed to run on ketone bodies, not sugar. It's only until very recently ...
