or at least how my doctor is consulting me. 16/8 is common with some 24s thrown in (once per week). In theory the ketones suppress the appetite, and you generate the ketones by avoiding carbs (except for non-starchy vegetables, pretty much all carbs). All fruits except avocados (which is a preferred food on keto), tomatoes, and eggplants are out. Even the last two should be limited.

Onions only in moderation (basically used in cooking or in a salad). Potatoes are definitely out. Carrots are on the fence. Corn, peas, and beans are out. No grains.

Upside is olive oil and butter are in. All meat and eggs are in.

Best vegetables:
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Zucchini
Asparagus
Celery
Bell Peppers
Lettuce of all types

Mushrooms (actually a fungus)
