That’s right the green, thorny plant we eat as mixed into delicious cheesy dips or as a pull-apart appetizer is a large flower bud, picked before it is allowed to bloom. While they are generally recognized as a vegetable, artichokes are actually a thistle. Other recommended vegetables include leafy greens, peppers of all kinds, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, cucumber, asparagus, olives, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, and artichokes (specifically artichoke hearts.) Yes, artichoke hearts are keto! Artichokes Are Keto…and They Have Hearts? While there are some vegetables that need to be avoided to successfully achieve ketosis, there are also quite a few that are encouraged on this diet.Īvocados are one of the most popular, both for their mild flavor and their versatility. The list of vegetables to avoid includes root vegetables (such as carrots, turnips, parsnips, and beets), tubers (potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams), and starchy vegetables (corn, peas, beans, and other legumes.) This is an area where keto dieters need to be especially careful, as all fruits and many vegetables are especially high in carbohydrates. Many keto dieters focus their meals around full-fat dairy products (such as cheese, butter, and cream), nuts and seeds, fatty fish, meats, non-starchy vegetables and yes, even artichoke hearts! Wait, What About Fruits and Veggies? Just eating mounds of bacon and cheese will not satisfy your body’s nutritional needs for very long.
While it is true that you can eat many foods on the keto diet that traditional “low-fat” dieters cannot, it is still wise to eat a variety of foods to assure your body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs.
