Don’t worry, The Keto Collective has you covered!

We’ll answer all these questions and more in this article, where we’ll share with you our top 8 high-fat keto foods that you MUST include in your diet...

Yes, after periods of not eating (fasting), your body will enter Ketosis.

However, while we think intermittent fasting has its place in a healthy lifestyle, you will eventually need to start eating again!

The Keto Diet IS NOT a starvation diet. You need to eat fat on the Keto Diet.

The keto diet is a type of low carbohydrate diet that requires high fat intake to maintain ketosis. Ketogenic diets are beneficial for obesity management and several medical conditions such as epilepsy, type 2 diabetes, and neurological disorders. Can you sustain ketosis without consuming fat? The answer is no!

Ketones are produced from the breakdown of fatty acids in your liver. If you don’t eat enough fat or have enough fat already in your body to use for fuel, your liver won’t have enough fatty acids to make ketones.

At that point, you’re just starving yourself. And that is unhealthy and unsustainable. 

Now that you know how important it is to eat more fat on keto, let's take a look at our top 8 high-fat keto foods . If possible, you should include all of these foods in your diet. 

These foods are not only high in fat but are also high in healthy fats!

Avocados are a staple keto food because they are rich in healthy monounsaturated and are high in fibre, potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, and folate.

They can help you feel full for longer and prevent constipation.

Avocados are incredibly versatile for numerous recipes, from homemade guacamole to chocolate mousse! 

Wild-caught fish are another great keto food because they are high in omega-3 fatty acids, a type of healthy fat that supports heart and brain health, as well as providing 22 g of protein per 100g, selenium, iodine, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. They can help you maintain your muscle mass and support your thyroid health.

Check out the freezer sections in the supermarket for Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillets.

Free-range eggs are a keto must because of their versatility and nutritional content. They can help you boost your metabolism, support your liver function, and improve your skin and hair health.

Probably nature’s perfect food, not only packed with healthy fats but also one of the best sources of protein. While eggs contain some saturated fat, they are also rich in other beneficial nutrients. 

Grass-fed meat and bone broths are excellent sources of fat and protein. While grass-fed meat contains saturated fats, it also provides other beneficial nutrients that can help you build and repair your muscles and bones while supporting your immune system. Stick to fatty meats like Beef and Lamb.

While processed meats like bacon and sausage are permissible on a ketogenic diet, they may pose health risks, such as heart disease and certain cancers. Opting for healthier meat alternatives, like chicken and fish, can help maintain a balanced and health-conscious diet.

Ideally, Buy Grass-fed and Organic Beef if your budget can stretch!

Nuts and seeds are high in healthy fats and essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin E. They can help you lower your blood pressure, improve your blood sugar control, and protect your cells from oxidative stress. 

Unlike starchy vegetables, which contain more digestible carbohydrates and can lead to increased blood sugar levels, nuts and seeds are a low-carb option that fits well into a ketogenic diet.

Enjoy almonds, macadamias, and pecans in their full form as a nut butter spread. If drinking Nut/Seed milk be sure to look for those that are free of any additives & hidden sugars!

Ghee and butter are pure sources of saturated fat that can enhance the flavour and texture of your keto meals and can help you improve your gut health, reduce inflammation, and increase your ketone production. Managing your total carbohydrate intake is crucial within the ketogenic diet framework to maintain ketosis.

Always opt for the grass-fed varieties. They’re higher in Vitamins A & D and it’s better to cook with!

Coconut is a versatile keto food that can provide you with different types of fat and other nutrients that support your thyroid function, and fight off infections. Coconut oil is a must on the Keto Diet!

No Keto Food List would be complete without the coconut. High in MCT fats (medium chain triglycerides), a type of healthy fat that supports energy production and metabolism, and antiviral properties, prepare to see a lot of this amazing food!
