Here are the list of food you should stick with to stay on keto:

• Fats and oils – I personally love grapeseed oil and avocado oil. Besides those, you have variety of options like butter, olive oil, coconut oil and mayonnaise.
• Meat – fatty cuts of of beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey are all you can eat while being on this diet.
• Fish and seafood – there is no limit on this category. However, if you can, go for salmon due to its generous amount of available fat.
• Some vegetables – you don’t need to cut out of veggies completely. Spinach, arugula, asparagus, broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, cucumber, cauliflower, brussels sprouts are great fit for a ketogenic diet.
• Avocados – superfood that are high on monounsaturated fat. Read more about avocados in this amazing post.
• Nuts and seeds – walnuts, almonds, chia seeds to name a few.
• Cheese and eggs – high in protein and 0 carbs. In addition, you should always pick full fat cheese.
• Berries – some berries are not off limits such as cranberries, blackberries, and raspberry.
• Dark chocolate and cocoa powder – as long as dark chocolate is at least 70% cacao then you’re good to go.
