Keto foods can be helpful in targeting visceral fat, also known as belly fat. The stomach area can be extremely hard to lose weight due to the amount of fat cells it contains. There are certain foods on the diet that can help target this area as well as boosting weight loss results.
Nuts
Nuts like almonds contain lots of healthy fats, fibre, protein, magnesium and vitamin E.
They can also reduce hunger and promote weight loss.
A portion of almonds does not count towards your five a day due to their high fat content.
However, according to BBC Good Food, a healthy portion would appear to be around 20g-50g a day for adults incorporated into a balanced diet.
Having eggs for breakfast can also help you feel fuller for longer, reducing the need for a mid-morning snack.
Berries
While a lot of berries are high in carbohydrates, others like raspberries and a small amount of blueberries are considered to be ketogenic.
They are packed with essential nutrients including vitamin c, manganese and vitamin K.
Manganese burns belly fat by boosting your metabolism, while fibre slows down your digestive process leaving you feeling fuller for longer.
They can be perfect for a tasty breakfast option along with plain Greek yoghurt which is also considered keto friendly.
Half a cup of raspberries contains only three grams of carbohydrates so these are perfect for weight loss.
