foods with ketones
If you like hamburger meat (ground beef), try to choose fattier ratios like 85/15 or 80/20 in some cases. One thing you do need to be careful of when dealing with meat is your protein intake. Too much protein on a ketogenic diet can lead to lower levels of ketone production and increased production of glucose. You want to aim for nutritional ketosis, so you must not over-consume on protein.
Some examples of how to get your protein in on a ketogenic diet are below: 1  Fish. Preferably eating anything that is caught wild like catfish, cod, flounder, halibut, mackerel, mahi-mahi, salmon, snapper, trout, and tuna. 2  Shellfish. Clams, oysters, lobster, crab, scallops, mussels, and squid. 3  Whole Eggs.
This classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high-carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as nuts, cream and butter.
