I've been living off of bacon, eggs, beef, fish, liver, and green leafy vegetables for about a year. I'm no longer pre-diabetic nor do I have high blood pressure any longer and I'm off all medications. Despite having my appendix blow up on me back in Nov. and causing a big, infected mess in my abdomen. I feel the best I've felt in 40 years. Oh, and I lost 50 pounds. I wish I had known about this when I was in my 30s instead of my 70s. Thanks for the information, Dr.

My two overweight, calorie counting sisters visited last week and were surprised at my weight loss. A third sister who is a nurse told them keto was bad. When asked what I was doing I said cutting out carbs and working on cutting out sugar. As I expected and prepared myself for….negative comments and rolling eyes. They said they preferred counting calories. Today one sister asked how I stay at 30 carbs per day. I replied, keto. I’m waiting for her reply and will send her your list. Thank you for all your videos. I have so much to learn.
Good for you! I had a month in before I fell off the wagon with sugar, real sugar. It helps me to allow around 30 carbs and ween myself down further as time goes. Keep up all your hard work.
What's great about these types of foods in dr Westman's diet (which are pretty much the same in everyone who does keto) is that they're satisfying and satiating without having to track down calories. I have absolutely no idea how many calories in eat in a day with keto, I just eat to satiety, and all my weight, BMI, blood pressure, glycemia etc are perfect without even trying. Which means that I'm getting all the nutrients my body needs. No useless calorie counting or fighting every 3-4 hours against ravenous hunger (I do easily 20 hrs/day fasting).
For some, calorie counting works. My wife lost a lot of weight that way after becoming a fan of Dr. Now and his 600 lb. plus patients. I can't do it, don't have the discipline.
This guy is one of the best authorities on diet for weight loss! He has had a lot to do with dramatically improving my health! Always grateful for Dr. Westman! 🙏
Indeed I think eggs are perfect but I haven't been able to eat them I over 4 years after developing an intolerance to them particularly the whites. I tried to eat just the yolks a couple of months back - I thought I might have to call for an ambulance I felt so unwell😮😢
My top 10 are ribeye, eggs, sardines, salmon, pickles, chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, ❤️duck (too expensive for me) shrimp and cod liver, butter. I eat all these things except duck every week. Pretty much all I eat. And I’m happy and satisfied.
@@mariejones7136something to Google! From what I know is fish that have a long lifespan (and eat other fish) have a lot of mercury like thuna fish, sardines who have a short lifespan and eat algae etcetera have not much mercury.

Mmmm. Are your pickles raw and natural (no vinegar)? If so, can you share the brand and where you find them? Thanks! I'm in NC, but hopefully I can find them here.
@@moviegoer9021 When he said "raw sauerkraut," I took him to mean not just uncooked but the authentic stuff made by fermenting vegetables to get a natural brine, rather than what you are probably referring to, which is a processed food made by soaking the vegetables in a vinegar solution. The authentic type, when raw, is full of bacteria beneficial to the gut the way yogurt or kefir or any raw fermented food is. But once it's cooked, of course, those bacteria are destroyed. And the processed type that you are probably referring to is also not nearly as beneficial. But yes, the raw type can be used on hot dogs and bratwurst too. It will just be healthier AND more flavorful.
@moviegoer9021. You are very welcome, MovieGoer! And no, I do not have constipation on keto and also did not have it on my carnivore diet for the last 9 months either, except in the very beginning. But that was remedied simply by adding more fat. So if you mean infrequent stools, that could just be normal, depending on how much fiber you are eating: the more fiber, esp from fruits and veggies, the more frequent and bulkier the stools, in my experience. If you mean very hard stools, however, that most usually means you aren't eating enough fat, which is an essential part of both a keto and carnivore diet. But if you are eating mostly very fatty meats, you should not have that problem. Personally, on both diets I eat/ate a lot of less fatty meats too, tho', like poultry, seafood, bison and elk. (Beef and lamb are usually fattier, even in their ground form. For ground beef, go for the 80-20 version and you should be fine.) And so, for less fatty meats, I usually add approx 1/2 to 1 Tbsp of butter to each 1/4 lb. And now that I can have.some plant foods again, I also add 2 Tbsp of olive oil to each of my 2 meals per day. Yet that doesn't mean you can't benefit from healthy raw sauerkraut too, AND raw kimchi, which is similar but very spicy. And on the east coast of the USA, where I am, there are many brands now, found in most good supermarkets, "health" and natural food stores, and Trader Joes. Even Costco sells a large container of it and Whole Foods once had their own brand, altho' they seem to have discontinued it recently. My favorite is the Bubbies brand, however, which is also the original; comes in a tall glass jar, which I prefer; and also has delicious naturally fermented raw pickles, as well. And I used to find it at Whole Foods, but I recently noticed it's also sold now at Publix and Harris Teeter. But you can also easily make your own. There are lots of recipes on TH-cam. What they all have in common, however, is that they will always be located in a chilled or refrigerated section (but not frozen); will contain varying amounts of salt; and the ingredients will NOT contain any vinegar. I hope you find a brand you enjoy. I can't eat the cabbage yet because of remaining food sensitivities, but I drink some of the juice daily. (Amazon even carries a brand that is only the juice!) And it's not just good on hot dogs and sausage but in salads as well! Bon appetite!
I'm happy and still thriving on the Keto Diet, and if you are not hungry, it's fine as long as you are hydrated 😊 Thank you, Dr. Westman, for your continued support😊
It was finally about two weeks ago that I realized I have to avoid dairy products. I actually began ketogenic eating two years ago to help rid myself of eczema. Along the way I learned I also had to stop using all cortisone creams. Ultimately stopping dairy is what finally has helped me to really begin to heal my eczema, or rather by this point "topical steroid withdrawal" eczema. Other than that, keto has been the way for me and my weight and health are unparalleled by comparison to past years. Metabolically, my lab and blood work might compare me to my twenties said my doctor (at my current age, 54)
I began culturing my dairy into kefir and the 3 bacterial strains from the Super Gut book into yogurts. All the lactose is eaten by the culturing/ fermentation . Also, it healed a long list of debilitating issues,like SIBO, endocrine issues, arthritic inflamation that have kept me unable to participate in life. (Always in too much pain to even stand up, and afraid to eat) Thought I was slowly dying at 55. Wish you the best!
Yes, dairy products are delicious but terrible for my skin- get dry painful itchy skin and itchy scalp. Didn’t know about steroid cream withdrawal. Thanks for the information! Yikes!!
It’s so convenient to purchase pork rind crumbs. I use them to make meatballs, air fried chicken legs, crumb topping on fish, etc., Eggs are my # go to, especially when Im short on time.
I follow your list. The only thing I omit are greens. They seem to disrupt my stomach. I avoid eating out because of the hidden sugars and seed oils. Been doing this for 4 years.
You might want to look into that. I've heard that if you don't feel well after consuming greens, that your gut microbes might be out of balance. I also knew someone who had tummy problems after eating greens (which I thought was odd when I heard that and I commented that that doesn't seem normal to eat lettuce and get an upset stomach) and ended up with stomach cancer.
I had the same problem until I had been keto for a few months. I’m guessing keto reset my gut biome and made it easier to eat salads a few times a week without tummy troubles. 😊
A yummy side dish to add is Kimchi. It's great for adding to many savoury meals as they do in South Korea. I find it also goes well with scrambled eggs and with chicken & coleslaw.
It’s still better than a sugar snack! Go for the lessor damage to your system! I cheat a little, but now i know what to look out for. No gout is my mission, weight loss is an added bonus! Educating my children is my goal! Don’t get sick in the first place, beats healing!
Eggs are a huge part of my diet also. Dr. Westman sort of says in the video to cook them any way, but I have heard that runny yolks will have more nutrients as some of the heat-sensitive nutrients in the yolk are destroyed by hard-boiling, scrambled, etc... Love me some sunny side up eggs on top of a steak! 🙂
Especially healthy if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...better for us and birds don't suffer like those we get yucky, cheap grocery eggs
1. Sirloin/ribeye, seared, with a light basting of fresh garlic n onion butter 2. White cabbage; mashed/pureed (1-2 cups) with tbsp butter, salt n pepper mixed through 3. Mashed avocado with tsp minced red onion mixed through 4. Organic Chicken(whole), skin-on, seasoned with salt, roasted or airfried 5. Pan fried haddock or salmon fillet 6. Cheese; most farmhouse, unpasteurised 7. Sauerkraut or kimchi, raw, unpasteurised rolled inside serrano ham 8. Leg of lamb, roasted, with or without mint sauce 9. Lambs liver, seared in bacon fat, with smoked bacon n shallot 10. Lacto free cream, whipped, with granulated erythritol & vanilla essence or pod
Best if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...healthier for us and the birds do not suffer terribly, like those that produce cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford them Cheaper with backyard hobbyists
I want to thank you for your videos. I was pre diabetic, high iron and high ldl cholesterol 4 months on keto I was hoping it has started making changes. Just got blood back today and bloods were all normal range. Happy I be sticking to keto or low carb
Bacon, steak, salmon, Pastrami, cheese, and chicken is ok. Spring mix everyday with lunch, with red bell pepper, Nutritional yeast, homemade dressing, Italian or ranch. I do have a little breaded food at dinner sometimes, just to have some carb treat.
This is the most honest take on the top 10 keto foods. Eat what you like (within the rules of the ketogenic lifestyle); this advice isn't recommended enough in the keto community. I often fell off the wagon because I forced myself to eat what I don't like, just because some of the keto doctors seem to impose it.
Hi, I like all those 10 top foods. Once I ate the whole top of crunchy rind on a piece of pork, it was delicious! and so satiating. I’m from Queensland Australia and really enjoy listening to your talks and love this new way of eating, so easy to shop for as well. Best Regards Kay
@gigics6695 I don't use a wide variety of dressings. I've found a good all purpose dressing for most salads and even Cole slaw. A clean mayo, like pure olive or avocado oil. Extra virgin olive oil. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. All mixed together. Season to liking with fresh garlic and spices, herbs to your liking!
One of the things that are import about eggs.. is that eggs over easy are so important as it keeps the vitamins intact. Keeping that in mind is so important.. Dr. Berg has a great video that.
Especially, if you get certified humane or from local farm or hobby backyard flock where they live well instead of a very awful two years for those that provide cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford, but totally worth it. Backyard breeders may only be $4/dz
@@bronnygray9890 any major super market would sell them. Also Walmart. Read label before buying. Make sure they didn't add extra things in the ingredients.
My favorite keto foods are eggs, beef, chicken, pork, cabbage, yogurt and brussel sprouts. I miss crunchy food so tend to overdo pork rinds, but I went off keto for a few months and now am trying to get back into ketosis. Sticking to 20 grams of carbs per day, and today's indulgence will be plain yogurt with some vanilla extract, blueberries and a bit of ground cardamom. Thanks for all the great advice and tips and information Dr. Westman!
Not necessarily in the same order, but I replace the green leafy with raw slauchi, grated like slaw, fermented like kraut, mixed low carb mixed veggies like kimchi. 6 eggs EVERY DAY, Spiced.
A lot of people talk about whole eggs, but eggs are also very good in mixes like mixed with cream as a filling for a (crustless) quiche with some bacon, meat and vegetables...or a frittata or flan if you like something sweet...
@@mariad1151 I'm but I'm lazy, just mix by hand 4 eggs with 250 ml cream pepper, salt and pour this on the tray with baked bacon and onion mix (or whatever mix you want). Put cheese on it, 30 minutes on 150 degrees celsius. Ready! I love the taste of a creamy, velvet mixture without a strong egg taste. You can also put the eggs in without the cream, then you have a thick omelette (frittata), this gives a more solid eggy texture...When you mix the cream with the eggs dont'use a mixer, avoid bubbles and overmixing.
I been on a a keto diet for 9 weeks and lost 2.5 stone. For breskfast i have fresh raspberries blackberries with mixed nuts that consist of coconut and peanut and pecan And for my tea I have pork asparagus Broccoli cauliflower kale. With plenty of fresh filtered water. I love the diet. My thoughts were i am not going to Accommodate my Waldrobe for my weight. Lose the weight to Accommodate my waldrobe for the weight i lost.
so basically what one should eat is full-fat animal protein, vegetables (especially dark, green, leafy ones like broccoli and brussels sprouts), and a small amount of healthy dietary fat such as avocados. all else should be avoided whenever possible
Great Video! Thanks, I agree with your top 10 foods. I discovered eggs cooked in muffin pan this morning topped with mushrooms, sporing onion , capers and feta cheese. Delicious❤
O K, I just love this guy, where have you been or i guess i should say where have i been , right ? Well i've been at my kidney dr. office getting little to no help. I am 3 b C K D and very obese. I feel like im on my way out,( scared to death )and with so many doctors that don't agree and it is so confusing and honestly i have yet to meet one that actually cares.... Im scares im going to kill whats left of my kidneys but im going to die anyway if i don't do something so please remember me in your prayers, my name is diane, God bless all of you and wishing all of you success in your keto journey, reading all the comments have really helped me to do this and try to get my life back . Now with the help of this good doctor, I'm taking the plunge ⏳😥.
Love it! We are on the same page :) I also eat nuts and have zero carb whey protein on coccasion. My lifestyle since 2020...lost about 40 lbs in total.
My favorites are eggs, bacon, fish, some read meats. After 145 days on Keto I have plenty of energy to go hiking which is what I like to do as much as possible. Thanks Dr. Eric for your infos.
Is there a list of non starchy vegetables? The ones in the internet vary. Can you eat onions, garlic, mushrooms? How about fermented foods (Sauerkraut, Temphe, Tofu) or Soysauce? Can you eat any fruit at all?
Eggs are in the no.1 position for me. Then chicken, bacon, ground beef, and salmon. These are always in rotation. I do cook up a bunch of chicken breasts at one time usually. Not much for veggies other than cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli, celery, Brussels sprouts occasionally. I do consume limited amounts of dairy: cheese such as cheddar and Parmesan, heavy cream, 4% fat cottage cheese and 3.5% plain Greek yogurt.
@@sariputri9687 I know supplementation isn’t necessary but I do take a multivitamin, magnesium (helps me with muscle cramping), K2+D3, turmeric, and every morning I put MCT oil and collagen powder in my coffee. On fasting days I use electrolytes in my water.
Eggs are great. Best from local farms or backyard breeders...or certified humane. Tastes better and birds don't suffer for the two years they live, or less in cruel factory farms. Anytime we can get humanely sourced or ethically hunted animal products is better for us and them. Factory farms are nothin nice
This seems more like a top 10 for Atkins diets. Since Keto requires around 70-80 percent fat, I would add butter (grass fed), olive oil, and coconut oil to top of the list. It's hard to eat fat, so I add the coconut oil and butter to my coffee. I do agree that the rest of the list is perfect, especially the non-starchy vegetables as you will need fiber to keep your gut bacteria happy. Good video!
@@kjlynneI've been seeing videos of other people who now recommend more protein and less fat. Don't recall current percentages. It seems the diet is evolving.
Eggs are at the top of my protein list and I like most of your veg choices. I'm a huge fan of squash and really enjoy pickled asparagus. I recently discovered pig belly..It's like bacon on steroids.
I recently discovered pig belly also - yum on steroids. Found a Filipino restaurant that serves it.. Along with a sour chunky vegitable/meat soup (3 days a week, menu varies daily), does have a bit of potatoe, but big enough chunks to scoop out. I think I'll go there today!!!
@@roxannehale1386Gee, I might join you if I knew the name and where it is, lol. That sounds delicious!! I'm in North Carolina . Is it within driving distance?😂
Eggs are even better if certified humane or from backyard breeders or local farms...better for us and the birds are not suffering for their two years of life.
1. Cheese. 2. Cream. 3. Butter. 4. Cream cheese. 5. Yogurt. 6. Cottage Cheese 7.Olives. 8. Avacado. 9. All the flow carb ruits and veggies I can have. All the meats & Eggs upset my stomach...I keep trying them, they taste fairly good, but the GI upset afterward is so frustrating!
Doctor, I can't seem to tolerate eggs if they are in their own. I used to love them! But if they are mixed in well and dispersed I can take eggs. Now after a couple hours it is very painful. Do people change their tolerances after they've been on this for awhile?
I can't digest the non-starchy veggies you mentioned. I do better with asparagus and celery, but broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts all cause horrible gas and indigestion. Taking Beano before or after eating helps, but I usually have to have a Gas-X in addition.
@@gigics6695 I get mackerel with EU origin.. I don't eat mackerel from China or other countries with heavy industry.. Also mackerel is not a large fish.. Heavy metals are a problem with larger fish..
@@gigics6695 Perhaps you're referring to King Mackerel or Spanish Mackerel from the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone can search "Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish", to check on expected levels of mercury. Luckily some of the tastiest fish (salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring, and certain mackerel...) have much less mercury than most large fish. Tuna is an interesting one, since the mercury level of various types varies very much.
Excellent list! If I want a keto coffee during my eating window (which is about 4-5 hours/day) I add MCT oil in it, and then for more flavour without carbs or lactose, I add cinnamon and ginger powder. Excellent taste, excellent for health (cinnamon and ginger are great for stabilizing blood sugars and are good anti inflammatory). If I don't want to break my fast, I can have the same combo - just without MCT oil). And these powders and MCT oil work great with green tea too!
What is your solution for people who have the ApoE4 allele and sterol hyperabsorption who cannot eat saturated fat and cholesterol even on a low carbohydrate diet?
Canned salmon is more often than not wild caught. Read your labels, like you should with everything that you might put in your mouth. I will be making a small loaf (just me and the cat here; he eats grain-free and is in beautiful condition) from Deming's brand canned sockeye (the rich red stuff, loaded with omega-3s) salmon this coming week. Got it and can get some frozen wild-caught fish from The Big Cheap Store that's everywhere; I just don't buy fresh meat there. If you like shrimp, try to find some of the red shrimp from South America. Always wild-caught and delicious; little buggers taste almost like lobster.
I have heard the keto docs say it is great. There is a Carnivore diet video of an 80 year old cattle rancher who hated veg so only ate meat as a kid and raised her like ten kids on 100% meat. She is still a hardworking cowboy at 80 & kids are good!
🙏🏼💖🙏🏼 would you please consider a look at RX 's that interfere with insulin, ie keep it high, mess with metabolism? I'm particularly interested in pain RX, such as tramadol. Keep up the good work 💃🥰
Worst thing was when I started Keto was realizing 95% of the grocery store is off limits. And if you just want to snack on some lunch meat almost all of it has sugar and carbs added to it. And once you do find something that’s ok to eat, almost all of it is labeled low fat. Why???
0:30 I been Keto for Six months and did it for overall health. I didn't need to lose much weight. At first I loved burning what fat I did have and lost 16 pounds. I am now very thin and play lots of sports, for example I will play ice hockey for 2 hours and burn 1000 calories. I find now I am losing muscle because I don't have much fat to burn. I now add carbs a few times a week and it seems to help preserve muscle. I am a 60 yr old man any advice?
Start taking creatine monohydrate to preserve your muscle mass. Also, start adding olive oil, coconut oil, butter and MCT oil to your diet to supplement the fat that you're burning. No sense kicking in and out of ketosis throughout the week.
I've been living off of bacon, eggs, beef, fish, liver, and green leafy vegetables for about a year. I'm no longer pre-diabetic nor do I have high blood pressure any longer and I'm off all medications. Despite having my appendix blow up on me back in Nov. and causing a big, infected mess in my abdomen. I feel the best I've felt in 40 years. Oh, and I lost 50 pounds. I wish I had known about this when I was in my 30s instead of my 70s. Thanks for the information, Dr.
What happened to your appendix?? 🥹

Yet that doesn't mean you can't benefit from healthy raw sauerkraut too, AND raw kimchi, which is similar but very spicy. And on the east coast of the USA, where I am, there are many brands now, found in most good supermarkets, "health" and natural food stores, and Trader Joes. Even Costco sells a large container of it and Whole Foods once had their own brand, altho' they seem to have discontinued it recently.
My favorite is the Bubbies brand, however, which is also the original; comes in a tall glass jar, which I prefer; and also has delicious naturally fermented raw pickles, as well. And I used to find it at Whole Foods, but I recently noticed it's also sold now at Publix and Harris Teeter.
But you can also easily make your own. There are lots of recipes on TH-cam. What they all have in common, however, is that they will always be located in a chilled or refrigerated section (but not frozen); will contain varying amounts of salt; and the ingredients will NOT contain any vinegar.
I hope you find a brand you enjoy. I can't eat the cabbage yet because of remaining food sensitivities, but I drink some of the juice daily. (Amazon even carries a brand that is only the juice!) And it's not just good on hot dogs and sausage but in salads as well!
Bon appetite!
I'm happy and still thriving on the Keto Diet, and if you are not hungry, it's fine as long as you are hydrated 😊
Thank you, Dr. Westman, for your continued support😊

It was finally about two weeks ago that I realized I have to avoid dairy products. I actually began ketogenic eating two years ago to help rid myself of eczema. Along the way I learned I also had to stop using all cortisone creams. Ultimately stopping dairy is what finally has helped me to really begin to heal my eczema, or rather by this point "topical steroid withdrawal" eczema. Other than that, keto has been the way for me and my weight and health are unparalleled by comparison to past years. Metabolically, my lab and blood work might compare me to my twenties said my doctor (at my current age, 54)
I began culturing my dairy into kefir and the 3 bacterial strains from the Super Gut book into yogurts. All the lactose is eaten by the culturing/ fermentation . Also, it healed a long list of debilitating issues,like SIBO, endocrine issues, arthritic inflamation that have kept me unable to participate in life. (Always in too much pain to even stand up, and afraid to eat) Thought I was slowly dying at 55. Wish you the best!
Yes, dairy products are delicious but terrible for my skin- get dry painful itchy skin and itchy scalp. Didn’t know about steroid cream withdrawal. Thanks for the information! Yikes!!
Thank you so much for all your valuable information! I know my life is changed and I’m down 25 pounds at the age of 60. :)
It’s so convenient to purchase pork rind crumbs. I use them to make meatballs, air fried chicken legs, crumb topping on fish, etc.,
Eggs are my # go to, especially when Im short on time.
I follow your list. The only thing I omit are greens. They seem to disrupt my stomach. I avoid eating out because of the hidden sugars and seed oils. Been doing this for 4 years.
You might want to look into that. I've heard that if you don't feel well after consuming greens, that your gut microbes might be out of balance. I also knew someone who had tummy problems after eating greens (which I thought was odd when I heard that and I commented that that doesn't seem normal to eat lettuce and get an upset stomach) and ended up with stomach cancer.
I had the same problem until I had been keto for a few months. I’m guessing keto reset my gut biome and made it easier to eat salads a few times a week without tummy troubles. 😊
@@Piper7cubPeople can also have this issue with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.
Ok here’s my top ten 😊 ground beef, eggs, butter, sardines, ribeyes, chicken, cod liver, bbq ribs , brisket, and coffee
Yea coffee ❤
A yummy side dish to add is Kimchi. It's great for adding to many savoury meals as they do in South Korea. I find it also goes well with scrambled eggs and with chicken & coleslaw.
On day 45, Food is just mass I put in my body now. No longer in love with food or addicted to sugar. Thank you Dr. Westman. You fixed me.
Can’t go wrong with eggs, but also loving boneless, skinless chicken thighs with a pork rind panko air fried until crispy 😊
Sounds very good!
Skinless chicken is not necessary. There's a lot of flavor and beneficial fat in the skin.
Where do you get pork rind panko please? I'm in Australia. 🇦🇺
The negative side of having Spam is some of the stuff in it:
Ingredients: Pork with Ham, Salt, Water, Modified Potato Starch, Sugar, Sodium Nitrite.
Agree. It is manufactured meat which I don't touch because of the additives.
It’s still better than a sugar snack! Go for the lessor damage to your system! I cheat a little, but now i know what to look out for. No gout is my mission, weight loss is an added bonus! Educating my children is my goal! Don’t get sick in the first place, beats healing!
It’s “processed” it breaks a lot of the “rules” as far as leaving the processed “food” behind.
Good for a treat now and again.
I make eggs, spinach, mushrooms, turkey bacon in muffin tins. Make 12 for a week. Freeze them. So good.
Eggs are a huge part of my diet also. Dr. Westman sort of says in the video to cook them any way, but I have heard that runny yolks will have more nutrients as some of the heat-sensitive nutrients in the yolk are destroyed by hard-boiling, scrambled, etc... Love me some sunny side up eggs on top of a steak! 🙂
Especially healthy if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...better for us and birds don't suffer like those we get yucky, cheap grocery eggs
1. Sirloin/ribeye, seared, with a light basting of fresh garlic n onion butter
2. White cabbage; mashed/pureed (1-2 cups) with tbsp butter, salt n pepper mixed through
3. Mashed avocado with tsp minced red onion mixed through
4. Organic Chicken(whole), skin-on, seasoned with salt, roasted or airfried
5. Pan fried haddock or salmon fillet
6. Cheese; most farmhouse, unpasteurised
7. Sauerkraut or kimchi, raw, unpasteurised rolled inside serrano ham
8. Leg of lamb, roasted, with or without mint sauce
9. Lambs liver, seared in bacon fat, with smoked bacon n shallot
10. Lacto free cream, whipped, with granulated erythritol & vanilla essence or pod
I guess guacamole is ok? there is nothing in the mix than could be high in carbs?
Guacamole should be fine...if premixed check label or ask at restaurants if added sugar
I love the freedom of Keto!
Thanks Doc!
Thank you, Dr Westman. Love eggs, glad the prices have come down a bit. They are a great source of protein, vitamins and other nutrients.
Best if can get from a local or hobby farm or if labeled certified humane...healthier for us and the birds do not suffer terribly, like those that produce cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford them
Cheaper with backyard hobbyists
Beef or ribeye, chicken thigh or drumstick, bacon, liver, sardines, tuna, broccoli, brussel sprouts. Cauliflower. Cheese
I want to thank you for your videos. I was pre diabetic, high iron and high ldl cholesterol 4 months on keto I was hoping it has started making changes. Just got blood back today and bloods were all normal range. Happy I be sticking to keto or low carb
My favourite Eggs , Fish, poultry , ( ABC);Asparagus , Broccoli , Cauliflower , celary cucumbers collard greens ,some greens , Avacadoe and some cheese .
Thanks Dr for clear explanation .
Bacon, steak, salmon, Pastrami, cheese, and chicken is ok. Spring mix everyday with lunch, with red bell pepper, Nutritional yeast, homemade dressing, Italian or ranch. I do have a little breaded food at dinner sometimes, just to have some carb treat.
Great list! This should help a lot of people. Everyone needs specific examples of what to eat.
This is the most honest take on the top 10 keto foods. Eat what you like (within the rules of the ketogenic lifestyle); this advice isn't recommended enough in the keto community. I often fell off the wagon because I forced myself to eat what I don't like, just because some of the keto doctors seem to impose it.
Avocado
Squeezed Lime Juice/Lime juice
Cucumbers
Green beans
Eggs
Pork/bacon
Cheese
Chicken

Dr Berg is the King of Keto. Like this so everyone can see
My favorite foods are bacon, eggs, butter, ribeye, NY Strip, beef patties, shrimp, canned chicken, pork rinds, and mozzarella cheese sticks.
Thanks Dr Westman. It’s always nice to hear from you and be reminded of what we are eating this way. Janice Vancouver BC
Hi, I like all those 10 top foods. Once I ate the whole top of crunchy rind on a piece of pork, it was delicious! and so satiating. I’m from Queensland Australia and really enjoy listening to your talks and love this new way of eating, so easy to shop for as well. Best Regards Kay
One of my favorite ways is make a salad and add meat. Cheeseburger salad, brisket, pork , chicken it’s great especially when it’s really hot.
Love that too. Have been doing it on and off for years. Just had to clean up the dressings part of nasty seed oils!
@@ianstuart5660 Please share the dressings you use with your salads .
@gigics6695 I don't use a wide variety of dressings. I've found a good all purpose dressing for most salads and even Cole slaw. A clean mayo, like pure olive or avocado oil. Extra virgin olive oil. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. All mixed together. Season to liking with fresh garlic and spices, herbs to your liking!
@@ianstuart5660 Fabulous! Thanks!
Me too. Salad w hard boiled eggs. Makes oil & vinegar dressing creamier 2.
One of the things that are import about eggs.. is that eggs over easy are so important as it keeps the vitamins intact. Keeping that in mind is so important.. Dr. Berg has a great video that.
Especially, if you get certified humane or from local farm or hobby backyard flock where they live well instead of a very awful two years for those that provide cheap grocery eggs. If you can afford, but totally worth it. Backyard breeders may only be $4/dz
Thank you Doc. I will try to keep my keto diet as your suggestions 🙏🏽❤️😍
Meal 1- Eggs, Pork sausage, Butter. Meal 2- Beef patties, XS Cheddar, Butter
Seasonings- Mix of Potassium chloride and Pink salt 3:1 ratio, Black pepper
Sups- Cod liver oil (liquid, not rancid pills), Magnesium Glycinate, C, K2-MK7
Thank you Dr. Westman for always "Keeping it Simple"
I would add cabbage. I've grown to love cabbage pie. Thanks for another fine video.
Eggs, beef, butter, cream, sour cream, cheese, shrimp, oysters, sardines, and salmon are my top 10 keto foods.
Liver, heart, kidney, lungs, brain, bone marrow, feet, skin, face, tail etc
We coat the chicken using crushed pork rinds. It's actually tastier than bread, and of course healthier.
Where do you buy and what is crushed pork rinds please? 🇦🇺
@@bronnygray9890 any major super market would sell them. Also Walmart. Read label before buying. Make sure they didn't add extra things in the ingredients.
My favorite keto foods are eggs, beef, chicken, pork, cabbage, yogurt and brussel sprouts. I miss crunchy food so tend to overdo pork rinds, but I went off keto for a few months and now am trying to get back into ketosis. Sticking to 20 grams of carbs per day, and today's indulgence will be plain yogurt with some vanilla extract, blueberries and a bit of ground cardamom. Thanks for all the great advice and tips and information Dr. Westman!

Not necessarily in the same order, but I replace the green leafy with raw slauchi, grated like slaw, fermented like kraut, mixed low carb mixed veggies like kimchi. 6 eggs EVERY DAY, Spiced.
A lot of people talk about whole eggs, but eggs are also very good in mixes like mixed with cream as a filling for a (crustless) quiche with some bacon, meat and vegetables...or a frittata or flan if you like something sweet...
Yeah baby! You must be a good cook!
Amen! ❤
@@mariad1151 I'm but I'm lazy, just mix by hand 4 eggs with 250 ml cream pepper, salt and pour this on the tray with baked bacon and onion mix (or whatever mix you want). Put cheese on it, 30 minutes on 150 degrees celsius. Ready! I love the taste of a creamy, velvet mixture without a strong egg taste. You can also put the eggs in without the cream, then you have a thick omelette (frittata), this gives a more solid eggy texture...When you mix the cream with the eggs dont'use a mixer, avoid bubbles and overmixing.
@@MarijkeWillemsen990 TY sounds 😋 & easy. Gonna try it in my toaster oven. I have all the stuff.
@@mariad1151 Enjoy! I never eat whole eggs...
I been on a a keto diet for 9 weeks and lost 2.5 stone.
For breskfast i have fresh raspberries blackberries with mixed nuts that consist of coconut and peanut and pecan
And for my tea
I have pork asparagus Broccoli cauliflower kale.
With plenty of fresh filtered water.
I love the diet. My thoughts were i am not going to Accommodate my Waldrobe for my weight. Lose the weight to Accommodate my waldrobe for the weight i lost.
Watch out for peanuts...a bean, not a nut and very high in lectins. Blanched almonds, macadamia or other nuts may be a better option
so basically what one should eat is full-fat animal protein, vegetables (especially dark, green, leafy ones like broccoli and brussels sprouts), and a small amount of healthy dietary fat such as avocados. all else should be avoided whenever possible
Great Video! Thanks, I agree with your top 10 foods. I discovered eggs cooked in muffin pan this morning topped with mushrooms, sporing onion , capers and feta cheese. Delicious❤
Don't forget the chopped, cooked bacon in your egg muffin 😊
Butter, especially ghee. Love it in my coffee, or with a small piece of dark chocolate to make it “keto”. An of course for scrambling these eggs.
O K, I just love this guy, where have you been or i guess i should say where have i been , right ? Well i've been at my kidney dr. office getting little to no help. I am 3 b C K D and very obese. I feel like im on my way out,( scared to death )and with so many doctors that don't agree and it is so confusing and honestly i have yet to meet one that actually cares.... Im scares im going to kill whats left of my kidneys but im going to die anyway if i don't do something so please remember me in your prayers, my name is diane, God bless all of you and wishing all of you success in your keto journey, reading all the comments have really helped me to do this and try to get my life back . Now with the help of this good doctor, I'm taking the plunge ⏳😥.
Love it! We are on the same page :) I also eat nuts and have zero carb whey protein on coccasion. My lifestyle since 2020...lost about 40 lbs in total.
RED MEAT and 2 eggs, or avocado, sardines and salmon with egg…..cooked in organic butter, for dessert blue cheese and or banana. feeling amazing
My favorites are eggs, bacon, fish, some read meats. After 145 days on Keto I have plenty of energy to go hiking which is what I like to do as much as possible. Thanks Dr. Eric for your infos.
Is there a list of non starchy vegetables? The ones in the internet vary. Can you eat onions, garlic, mushrooms? How about fermented foods (Sauerkraut, Temphe, Tofu) or Soysauce? Can you eat any fruit at all?
Eggs are in the no.1 position for me. Then chicken, bacon, ground beef, and salmon. These are always in rotation. I do cook up a bunch of chicken breasts at one time usually. Not much for veggies other than cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli, celery, Brussels sprouts occasionally. I do consume limited amounts of dairy: cheese such as cheddar and Parmesan, heavy cream, 4% fat cottage cheese and 3.5% plain Greek yogurt.
Great! I try now to have more eggs for breakfast. May I know if you take any supplements/vitamins ? Which ones ? Thank you 🙏🏽
@@sariputri9687 I know supplementation isn’t necessary but I do take a multivitamin, magnesium (helps me with muscle cramping), K2+D3, turmeric, and every morning I put MCT oil and collagen powder in my coffee. On fasting days I use electrolytes in my water.
Eggs are great. Best from local farms or backyard breeders...or certified humane. Tastes better and birds don't suffer for the two years they live, or less in cruel factory farms. Anytime we can get humanely sourced or ethically hunted animal products is better for us and them. Factory farms are nothin nice
Lamb, sardines, plaice, eggs, salad greens.
What about Nuts? no one talks about ,.,walnuts,.,macadamia ,.,pecan almonds ect? THANK YOU for ALL YOu DO I love your food list !
Those are my favorites too. It's amazing to think we can eat them since traditional diets limit them.
My favorite keto food is steak and hamburger topped with hard cheese and salted. Hard cheese melted over the meat.
Question I understand keeping carbs low what about the fat when trying to lose weight??
Thank you doctor for this great channel. Just no need for background music at all. It’s usually annoying and distracting for most people ❤❤❤
This seems more like a top 10 for Atkins diets. Since Keto requires around 70-80 percent fat, I would add butter (grass fed), olive oil, and coconut oil to top of the list. It's hard to eat fat, so I add the coconut oil and butter to my coffee.
I do agree that the rest of the list is perfect, especially the non-starchy vegetables as you will need fiber to keep your gut bacteria happy.
Good video!
How much you add in your coffee?
Glad for you that you seem to know more than a world renowned expert
@@ek6744 I'm rather late, but whenever I add them to my coffee, I do a tablespoon of each.
@@gloriasaliba3395He is not wrong. Keto is 80% fat. Dr W is not perfect. Probably an oversight or he assumed everyone knew healthy fats were a given.
@@kjlynneI've been seeing videos of other people who now recommend more protein and less fat. Don't recall current percentages. It seems the diet is evolving.
Eggs are at the top of my protein list and I like most of your veg choices. I'm a huge fan of squash and really enjoy pickled asparagus. I recently discovered pig belly..It's like bacon on steroids.
😂
I recently discovered pig belly also - yum on steroids. Found a Filipino restaurant that serves it.. Along with a sour chunky vegitable/meat soup (3 days a week, menu varies daily), does have a bit of potatoe, but big enough chunks to scoop out. I think I'll go there today!!!
@@roxannehale1386Gee, I might join you if I knew the name and where it is, lol. That sounds delicious!! I'm in North Carolina . Is it within driving distance?😂
@@cherylh4688 sorry, you are 2000 miles away.
Eggs are even better if certified humane or from backyard breeders or local farms...better for us and the birds are not suffering for their two years of life.
Thank you for the information
1. Cheese. 2. Cream. 3. Butter. 4. Cream cheese. 5. Yogurt. 6. Cottage Cheese 7.Olives. 8. Avacado. 9. All the flow carb ruits and veggies I can have.
All the meats & Eggs upset my stomach...I keep trying them, they taste fairly good, but the GI upset afterward is so frustrating!
Doctor, I can't seem to tolerate eggs if they are in their own. I used to love them! But if they are mixed in well and dispersed I can take eggs.
Now after a couple hours it is very painful. Do people change their tolerances after they've been on this for awhile?
Is dark chocolate keto friendly ? Can’t help but have one square after a meal 😩
I can't digest the non-starchy veggies you mentioned. I do better with asparagus and celery, but broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts all cause horrible gas and indigestion. Taking Beano before or after eating helps, but I usually have to have a Gas-X in addition.
Aldi has amazing leg of lamb on sale often. Canned mackerel is also delicious.
Yes in San Diego ground lamb at good price in Aldi's this week. Usually buy 10😊
However, I believe Mackerel is high in mercury?
@@gigics6695 I get mackerel with EU origin.. I don't eat mackerel from China or other countries with heavy industry.. Also mackerel is not a large fish.. Heavy metals are a problem with larger fish..
@@gigics6695 Perhaps you're referring to King Mackerel or Spanish Mackerel from the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone can search "Mercury Levels in Commercial Fish and Shellfish", to check on expected levels of mercury.
Luckily some of the tastiest fish (salmon, trout, sardines, anchovies, herring, and certain mackerel...) have much less mercury than most large fish. Tuna is an interesting one, since the mercury level of various types varies very much.
Excellent list! If I want a keto coffee during my eating window (which is about 4-5 hours/day) I add MCT oil in it, and then for more flavour without carbs or lactose, I add cinnamon and ginger powder. Excellent taste, excellent for health (cinnamon and ginger are great for stabilizing blood sugars and are good anti inflammatory). If I don't want to break my fast, I can have the same combo - just without MCT oil). And these powders and MCT oil work great with green tea too!
What is your solution for people who have the ApoE4 allele and sterol hyperabsorption who cannot eat saturated fat and cholesterol even on a low carbohydrate diet?
TY so much this is what I eat alot of, like sardines, eggs are my favorite
Salmon get their omega 3 from eating algae. But almost all salmon in stores is farm raised and fed feed which does not have omega 3
Canned salmon is more often than not wild caught. Read your labels, like you should with everything that you might put in your mouth. I will be making a small loaf (just me and the cat here; he eats grain-free and is in beautiful condition) from Deming's brand canned sockeye (the rich red stuff, loaded with omega-3s) salmon this coming week. Got it and can get some frozen wild-caught fish from The Big Cheap Store that's everywhere; I just don't buy fresh meat there. If you like shrimp, try to find some of the red shrimp from South America. Always wild-caught and delicious; little buggers taste almost like lobster.
DR Westman, do you check your blood with CGM or some kind of ketone meter to see the level of ketosis you are in from time to time?
Our top priority is to keep the carbs low, cut out seed oils and sugars. That's it. We are free to eat the way we want as long as we eat whole foods
How many eggs we need to take for breakfast?
Thank you for the video. I have a question. Is it healthy and developmentally optimal for young children to eat a ketogenic or carnivore diet? Thanks.
I have heard the keto docs say it is great.
There is a Carnivore diet video of an 80 year old cattle rancher who hated veg so only ate meat as a kid and raised her like ten kids on 100% meat. She is still a hardworking cowboy at 80 & kids are good!
🙏🏼💖🙏🏼 would you please consider a look at RX 's that interfere with insulin, ie keep it high, mess with metabolism? I'm particularly interested in pain RX, such as tramadol. Keep up the good work 💃🥰
Question: why total carbs vs net carbs? Thanks for sane advice & mentioning that Spam is fine. Also, you have a very pleasant voice.
Are there any issues with cruciferous and hypothyroidism
Thanks doctor great lecture.
Love your choices, esp the cheese. Following dr Atkins and wow. My fave food is boiled eggs, grated cheese, and a bit of Romaine lettuce.
Worst thing was when I started Keto was realizing 95% of the grocery store is off limits. And if you just want to snack on some lunch meat almost all of it has sugar and carbs added to it. And once you do find something that’s ok to eat, almost all of it is labeled low fat. Why???
What carb limit do you recommend per day?
0:30 I been Keto for Six months and did it for overall health. I didn't need to lose much weight. At first I loved burning what fat I did have and lost 16 pounds. I am now very thin and play lots of sports, for example I will play ice hockey for 2 hours and burn 1000 calories. I find now I am losing muscle because I don't have much fat to burn. I now add carbs a few times a week and it seems to help preserve muscle. I am a 60 yr old man any advice?
More protein as you get older to avoid muscle loss.
High carb the day of increased exercise
Start taking creatine monohydrate to preserve your muscle mass. Also, start adding olive oil, coconut oil, butter and MCT oil to your diet to supplement the fat that you're burning. No sense kicking in and out of ketosis throughout the week.
I wish I liked eggs more - really struggle with them 😐.
Atm I love ribeye and red salmon.😅
