Faster weight loss with 16 core keto foods

Faster weight loss with 16 core keto foods.

The ketogenic diet is one of the most effective weight loss plans in the world  when it is followed correctly. "Dirty Keto" would be a version of the  diet where you keep your carbs low,   but still consume unhealthy oils and sweeteners. However, eating the right foods that are rich in important nutrients makes this diet very successful and healthy, allowing you to  shed body fat faster than any other diet plan. 

In today's article we aim to share with  you the best 16 nutrient dense keto foods which can act as your staples on keto, for faster weight loss and a healthier body. These will act at the foundation for your diet and supercharge your health.    

1. Kale Kale is the number 1 vegetable food for keto, because it supplies an enormous amount of potassium, magnesium and amino acids. You   need more potassium on keto to reverse insulin resistance and burn off excess body fat. 

2. Avocado Avocado is a super food which is well known for keeping you full and supplying healthy monounsaturated fatty acids. This is the perfect keto food because it is nutrient dense, rich in fat and packed full of antioxidants for healing the cells of the body. 

3. Sardines You can purchase canned   sardines which are the perfect keto lunch. These small fish are loaded with omega 3-fatty acids, some of the healthiest fats for turning into ketones. These help to lower inflammation in   the body, repair insulin resistance and reverse all kinds of inflammatory diseases like arthritis. 

4. Mussels We highly recommend   eating a handful of shellfish on keto, at least 3 times per week. These are your   best source of essential trace minerals and Vitamin B12. B12 calms down stress hormones, helps your body to break down and metabolise fat, and also regulate your blood pressure.  

5. Pecans The goal of this diet is to load up on healthy fats and keeps your carbs low. Eating low carb nuts like pecans supplies healthy fat which keeps you full between meals. Pecans are the best keto nut, followed by brazil nuts, walnuts and macadamia nuts. 

6. Cauliflower This versatile ingredient can be consumed raw, lightly steamed or as a rice alternative. It can also be used to make a keto pizza base, a substitute for mash potatoes or roasted. It contains two groups of antioxidants which fight inflammation in the body, speed up weight loss and even slow the growth of cancer cells.   

7. Avocado Oil It is essential that you remove unhealthy oils from your diet, or else you will simply put the weight back on in the future. Avocado oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils with a high smoke point. Use this instead of vegetable oils, canola oil, rapeseed oil and other hydrogenated oils. 

8. Sauerkraut Eating a small serving of fermented cabbage each day can rapidly boost your weight loss. This is rich in live, friendly bacteria which help to line your gut. These help your body make enzymes for faster weight loss and also improve your brain function. 

9. Salmon Wild caught salmon is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids which heal the body internally, especially when trying to lose weight.Eating oily fish at least 3 times per week   improves the health of the central nervous system and is rich in essential nutrients. 

10. Nutritional Yeast If you want to avoid feeling tired and moody when on keto, take unfortified nutritional yeast every single day. This is loaded with B Vitamins which not only make you lose weight faster, but also support your mood, nervous system and brain function. Add this to soups, sauces, broths or curries. 

11. Beef Steak Consume high quality pasture raised and grass fed meats when on the ketogenic plan. We recommend fattier cuts of beef steaks, to provide essential  protein, amino acids and healthy fats for energy. 

12. Eggs Pasture raised eggs are a staple on keto, as they contain all the building blocks of life. Packed full of protein, fats and antioxidants, eggs keep your blood sugars stable and help to heal the underlying problem of insulin resistance, for rapid weight loss. 

13. Blackberries One of the lowest carb fruits in the world, blackberries are the perfect ingredient for keto puddings.

Always count your carbs however, as all fruits contain some natural sugars which can knock you out of ketosis. Blackberries are loaded with anthocyanins and minerals which  support weight loss when eaten in moderation. 

14. Ginger We recommend using fresh ginger, turmeric or cinnamon regularly as part of this eating plan. These spices add flavour to keto dishes and also rapidly speed up the weight loss process. Don't hesitate to use these in healthy keto drinks too. 

15. Apple Cider Vinegar Use raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar which contains "the mother" in your healthy salad dressings. You can also add this to healthy curries, drink it in a glass of water or over salted vegetables. This boosts digestion to help you absorb  more nutrients, and burn fat effectively. 

16. Cheese Cheese from grass fed cows is one of the healthiest sources of fat soluble vitamins such as Vitamins A, E, D and K2. These are essential for burning off fat faster, and cheese is also packed full of essential fatty acids which are amazing for your brain and nervous system. 

Tips & Tricks By eating the foods above you will supply your body with many of the essential nutrients that your body needs to lose weight quickly. Eating a large leafy green salad for your first meal of the day is one of the best ways to supercharge your weight loss. 

Add a little protein such as sliced beef leftovers or salmon, and a good quality olive oil dressing. The first meal you consume after sleeping is more readily absorbed by the body, so a nutrient dense salad is the best way to go. HIIT We also recommend high intensity interval training as a form of exercise. 

This boosts growth hormone by 400% which helps you to burn fat while you are sleeping. Sleep If you do not get enough sleep, you will struggle to lose weight. Sleep regulates hormones like growth hormone and cortisol. 

Try to get at least 8 hours per 24 hours, even if this means taking a nap. Hydrate Avoid the commercial soda drinks as they are loaded with artificial sweeteners and preservatives which slow your weight loss. Drink a good quality mineral water (sparkling) instead and add a few drops of fruit flavoured stevia drops. Intermittent Fasting Instead of grazing, it is essential that you start bringing your meals closer together. Eat all of your calories in a 4-5 hour window during the day and fast for the remaining hours. 

This rapidly boosts weight loss and is a key element to a healthy ketogenic diet. Coffee We all tend to go overboard with the coffee, however too much can slow your weight loss down. Limit your coffee intake to 1-2 small cups per day. The caffeine here in the right amounts will speed up your fat burning metabolism, as long as you keep it limited. Sweeteners Finally, if you crave a little sweetness in your drinks or cooking, we recommend erythritol and stevia. These are two of the healthiest natural sweeteners which have little to no effect on your blood sugars.
