Ingredients (Allowed Foods)
- Fresh meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs
- Non-starchy vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, cucumber, peppers)
- Healthy fats (olive oil, coconut oil, butter, ghee, avocado)
- Small amounts of berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Unsweetened almond milk or other unsweetened nut milks
- Nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, chia, flax, sunflower seeds)

Instructions (How to Follow)
- Avoid high-carb foods: skip fruit (except small servings of berries), wheat, sugar, grains, pasta, potatoes, rice, beans, starches, and regular milk.
- Build meals around protein and non-starchy vegetables. Fill half your plate with veggies and add a moderate portion of meat, poultry, fish, or eggs.
- Use healthy fats for cooking and flavor. Olive oil, avocado, coconut oil, or butter can make dishes more satisfying.
- Choose low-carb snacks. Nuts, seeds, cheese (if tolerated), boiled eggs, or a handful of berries are good options.
- Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, herbal tea, or unsweetened beverages.
- Use unsweetened almond milk in place of regular milk for smoothies, coffee, or baking.
- Plan ahead to keep meals varied and avoid temptation.
