Keto Dairy List

The lowest carb dairy items are heavy whipping cream, butter, and cheese. Many of these are either 0 carb or 1 net carb. Be sure to check the labels of all packaged dairy products since the carb count can vary by brand.

Sometimes the less expensive grocery store brands have fillers in the products which helped bring the cost down, the downside is that those fillers often increase the carb count. Check labels!

  • whipping cream
  • heavy whipping cream
  • sour cream (full-fat)
  • half n half
  • yogurt (full-fat)
  • butter- organic grass fed is best
  • cream cheese
  • cheese - popular options include cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, swiss, colby, blue, havarti cheese

Keto Veggies List

People following a keto diet often limit themselves to 20 net carbs per day, if you're following a low carb diet that might be 50-100 net carbs per day. Many of your carbs in a day will probably come from keto vegetables and fruits.

Here is a list of the lowest and most popular keto vegetables, it's not meant to be a comprehensive list but consider it a list of the popular go-to vegetables many people eat on the ketogenic diet.

  • lemons
