A ketogenic diet should consist of about 60–80% fat, 10–30% protein, and no more than 5–10% — or 20–50 grams — of carbs per day.

Focus on high fat, low carb foods like eggs, meats, dairy, and low carb vegetables, as well as sugar-free beverages. Be sure to limit highly processed foods and trans fats.

The popularity of the ketogenic diet has made it easier than ever to find a wide array of interesting and healthy keto meal ideas online.

Using this article as a guide to get started on the keto diet can set you up for success and make transitioning to a high fat, low carb diet a breeze.
