12 Best Keto Foods to Buy at Trader Joe’s

What is the ketogenic diet?

The ketogenic (keto) diet is a popular version of the classic low-carb diet. But keto’s carb count is ultra low: Just 20 carbs per day. The focus of this diet plan is getting lots of fat (80 to 85 percent of your daily nutrients), some protein (10 to 15 percent), and those few grams of carbs (5 percent).

Keto dieters can experience a great deal of weight-loss success like these folks, but each person’s journey is different. In your first weeks, you can expect to drop about two pounds per week. That tends to be water weight initially (true with almost any diet), but then the lack of carbs forces your body to burn fat for energy and you start to shed pounds. At that point, the amount of weight you lose each week will vary based on your diet, your level of exercise, and your starting weight.

One of the best things about the keto diet is how easy it can be for people to shop and cook. No fancy shakes, bars, or meals. You can—and should—eat real food on the keto diet. Trader Joe’s has a wide assortment of keto-friendly foods that will help you meal plan and stick to your goal so you have the best shot at real results.
