Ketofiti

Cutting sugar and processed food

The simplest rule that makes keto work: eat real food.

Keto works best on real, minimally processed food. Cut:

  • Sugar and sugary drinks (soda, juice, sweet tea).
  • Ugali, rice, chapati, bread, mandazi, potatoes and other starches.
  • Packaged snacks and anything with sugar high on the label.

Eat:

  • Meat, fish, eggs, omena.
  • Green vegetables (sukuma wiki, spinach, managu, cabbage).
  • Healthy fats (avocado, oil, ghee, coconut).

Ketofiti tags foods green, amber or red so you can see at a glance what fits.
