Want to Try Keto But Don’t Know Where to Start? Let This List of Low-Carb Foods Inspire You

Celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Halle Berry, and Vanessa Hudgens have all praised the ketogenic diet for its wonderful benefits, and if their testimonials have proven enough to convince you to try this very popular program, you should know the ins and outs of it. But what exactly are the foods that are low in carbohydrates and high in protein?
Almond Milk
Almonds are a healthy source of fat, nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins. In fact, an ounce of it has 3.5 grams of fiber, 14 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein.

Almond milk contains healthy fats
Most people who strictly follow the keto diet use unsweetened almond milk to make chia pudding. Sometimes, they also add this to protein shakes.
Shrimp
One of the most underrated foods are shrimps, but it actually is an excellent source of lean protein. It has practically low carbohydrate content and if you are not a fan of this, always remember that one serving can already meet half of your daily protein value.

Shrimp is low in carbohydrates
On top of that, shrimps have a pink color because of astaxanthin, an antioxidant that promotes a healthy heart and smooth skin.
Canned Tuna
Other seafood on this list will require you to head to the market, but don’t fret. Cans of tuna are easy to store and have a long shelf life, which is why it is perfect for people who want to stay on a low-carb, high protein diet.
However, you should look for one that has low mercury, dietician Alex Lewis explained. Just two ounces of tuna pack a lot of protein – plus, you can mix it with vegetables to make a scrumptious meal.
Flaxseed
Flaxseeds are usually used as toppings in salads and meals that are scattered all over Instagram, and there’s a logic behind it. It is packed with proteins, good for the heart, and is yummy, which is why it is oftentimes added to healthy recipes.

Flaxseeds are good for the heart
One tablespoon of it contains 1.3 grams of protein, 2 grams of carbs, and 1.9 grams of fiber. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you can consume flaxseeds instead of fish because it is also a good source of omega-3 fats.
Its fiber content can help keep the LDL cholesterol (read: the bad kind) at bay. The alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) found in flaxseeds also lower blood pressure.
Venison
What is healthier than beef? Venison – yup, it has 50 percent less fat than beef.
As with most meat, venison is a good source of protein, but if you’re iffy about trying it out, try a jerky first. Its calorie content is lower than chicken and beef, too.
Halibut
Tuna may not be everybody’s cup of tea because of its strong scent and that’s where halibut enters. This fish contains high protein and has mono- and polyunsaturated fats as well as magnesium and selenium.
