A Dietitian's 5-Day Keto Meal Plan for Weight Loss

 

Macronutrient Ratio:  Focus on a high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carb diet. Typically, this means 70-75% of calories

 

Food Choices:  Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods such as meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, low-carb vegetables

 

Avoid Sugars and Starches: Eliminate or minimize intake of sugars, grains, legumes, and high-carb fruits.

 

Meal Planning:  Plan meals ahead to ensure you meet your macros and avoid impulsive, high-carb choices.

 

Hydration:  Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, support metabolism, and avoid keto flu symptoms.

 

Snacking Mindfully: Choose keto-friendly snacks like nuts, seeds, and cheese, but be mindful of portion sizes

 

Monitor Ketosis:  Use keto strips or a blood ketone meter to monitor ketone levels and ensure you're in ketosis

 

Electrolyte Balance: Maintain electrolyte balance by consuming adequate sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
