A keto diet plan that is aimed at weight loss should eliminate foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta, flour, bread and sugar. Instead you should opt for foods for foods that are high in protein and fat, such as meat, eggs, avocado and olive oil.

Fruits consumed in a keto diet plan can include strawberries, blueberries, cherries and blackberries, as they contain the least amount of carbohydrates.

A keto diet plan can promote weight loss, as it stimulates the body to use its own fat stores as a source of energy. The keto diet can also help to keep you full, as fats and proteins take longer to be digested and remain in the stomach for longer.
