Key takeaways

• Blueberries: Good for sweet cravings, improve glucose levels, and are rich in antioxidants.
• Pineapple: Contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in fat digestion and mobilization.
• Cottage Cheese: High in casein protein, which digests slowly, promoting satiety and muscle protein synthesis.
• Greek Yogurt: Probiotics in yogurt may contribute to reduced body fat and increased satiety.
• Ready-to-Eat Meat: A convenient source of protein, with a caution to choose options with minimal additives.
• Spaghetti Squash: A low-carb, low-calorie, high-volume food that can mimic pasta when reheated.
• Shirataki Noodles: Contain glucomannan fiber, which absorbs water and promotes fullness, aiding in weight loss.
• Kimchi: A fermented food rich in probiotics and prebiotics, offering benefits for gut health and potentially fat loss.
• Watermelon: Can help reduce cravings for less healthy options like cookies and provides satiety.
• Natto: Fermented soy with potential health benefits, including longevity, and serves as a high-protein option.
• Hard-Boiled Eggs: A convenient and nutrient-dense source of protein, recommended in moderation (up to two per serving).
• Naan Bread (Gluten-Free, Fat-Free): A healthier alternative for carb cravings, made with Greek yogurt for added protein.
• Specialty Breads: High-fiber, low-net-carb breads can satisfy bread cravings while remaining keto-friendly.
• Pre-packaged Beets: A convenient source of nitrates for nitric oxide production, beneficial for vascular and heart health, and relatively low in carbs.
• Mustard: A low-calorie condiment that enhances the flavor of other foods, making them more palatable for fat loss.
• Cold Potatoes: Cooling cooked potatoes increases their resistant starch content, turning them into a prebiotic food with a low glycemic index, beneficial for gut health.
