5. Chicken and Red Meat
Meat and poultry are staples for anyone on the ketogenic diet. They are rich in B vitamins, potassium, selenium, zinc, and other minerals, but have net zero carbohydrates. Red meat and chicken are also high in protein. Preserve your muscle mass and strength by consuming high-quality protein on a low-carb diet. If possible, choose grass-fed meat because it contains more omega-3 fats, conjugated linoleic acids, and antioxidants than grain-fed meat.
