While fruits are generally considered healthy, some fruits are higher in natural sugars and carbohydrates. If you are on a keto diet, you need to avoid those. Let us look at fruits you can and cannot eat while on a keto diet.
Berries are relatively low in carbohydrates compared to other fruits. They can be enjoyed as a nice addition to your keto meal plan.
Lemons and limes are citrus fruits that are low in carbohydrates and can add refreshing flavour to your water or dishes.
Watermelon is relatively low in carbohydrates compared to other fruits. However, it is still higher in sugars, so it should be consumed in moderation.
Tomatoes are technically a fruit and are low in carbohydrates. They are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They can be enjoyed in salads or sauces.
Bananas are relatively high in carbohydrates and natural sugars, which can hinder ketosis.
Grapes are another fruit that is higher in sugar and carbohydrates. A cup of grapes contains about 26 grams of net carbs.
Mangos are delicious but contain significant amounts of natural sugars, making it a fruit to avoid or consume sparingly on a keto diet.
Pineapples are known for their sweetness, which comes from natural sugars, making it a fruit to be cautious with on a ketogenic diet.
