The keto diet is all the rage right now. Endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Vanessa Hudgens, LeBron James, and Tim Tebow have made the diet soar in popularity.

So, what exactly is the keto diet?

Heres some quick background information about the diet. The eating plan calls for 75% of your daily calories to come from fat, 20% from protein, and only 5% from carbohydrates.

Sounds pretty good. Lets see how it works.

The objective of the diet is to make your body go into ketosis, a metabolic state that occurs when your body doesnt have enough carbs to burn for energy. Your body instead burns fat, which creates ketones (a type of acid). Makes sense.

The diet is actually a descendent of the original Atkins low-carb diet, which has been modified throughout the years.

Who doesnt want to eat fatty foods all day? Pass the French fries and potato chips! Im kidding (unfortunately)… unhealthy fatty foods arent on the list sorry.

If followed properly, the keto diet is relatively healthy and can help you lose weight. You wont feel like youre starving and deprived because proteins are very filling.

You dont even have to count calories! Miraculous!

However, the keto diet is typically meant for temporary use. Many starchy vegetables and fruits with high carb content have a great deal of nutritional value but are banned. You shouldnt avoid them for the rest of your life.

Fruit consumption in particular is very specific on the keto diet. After all, many fruits are high in carbs and sugars and remember, carbs should only account for 5% of your entire daily food consumption on the keto diet.

However, many fruits DO also contain lots of great nutrients and vitamins that are good for your body. Plus, a little natural sweetness provides some welcome variety since sugary foods and desserts are a big no-no on keto.

The topic of which fruits (if any) are approved to eat on the keto diet can be a confusing topic. Fruits are healthy, right?? But its hard to know if youre eating too many carbs and sugars.

The great news is that many delicious fruits are okay to eat on keto! The key is to choose fruits that are relatively low in carbs so you can enjoy your fruits without overdoing it and throwing yourself out of ketosis.

High-Carb Fruits You Should Avoid On Keto

Like I said, only low-carb fruits are keto-approved. Unfortunately, youll need to avoid these high-carb fruits for the duration of your keto diet:

  • Bananas: 22.84 g of carbs/half cup
  • Grapes: 18.08 g of carbs/half cup
  • Cherries: 16.01 g of carbs/half cup
  • Pears: 15.23 g of carbs/half cup
  • Mango: 14.98 g of carbs/half cup
  • Blueberries: 14.49 g of carbs/half cup
  • Pineapple: 13.12 g of carbs/half cup
  • Oranges: 11.54 g of carbs/half cup
  • Plums: 11.42 g of carbs/half cup
  • Grapefruit: 10.81 g of carbs/half cup

Keep in mind that dried fruit doesnt work for the keto diet. During dehydration, sugar concentrates in a smaller area, making dried fruit much higher in carbohydrates and sugars.

Just be strong and focus on the wonderful fresh fruits and other foods that you are allowed to eat. Here are some great keto recipes for you to check out and create some new variety in your diet.

A word of caution: Note that you cannot cheat on the keto diet because you could knock yourself out of ketosis.

Thats another reason why this diet works best for a limited amount of time. The keto diet is designed for relatively fast weight loss, but it is generally not recommended as a lifelong eating plan.

Long-term health eating habits include a large variety of fruits and veggies so your body can absorb different nutrients from each. Grains and healthy carbohydrates have many nutrients as well.

Once you lose some weight, you may want to go back to eating the entire spectrum of fruits and vegetables as well as grains. You should also continue eating healthy fats and lean proteins like the ones the keto diet incorporates.
