Potatoes and other starchy vegetables

White and sweet potatoes should not be consumed on the keto diet due to their high carbs, despite being excellent sources of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber. Peas and maize are two additional healthy but high-carb veggies that should be avoided.

Beets and carrots are two examples of starchy veggies that have a little fewer carbs per serving. If they fall within your daily carb allowance, you might be able to include small amounts of these. I Instead of making starchy veggies the center of a dish, consider adding a modest amount in a salad or bowl if you're craving them. These can also be substituted with small or moderate servings of jicama, which has less than 3 grams of carbs per 1/4 cup naturally (33 grams). In addition, riced or mashed cauliflower can be used in place of potatoes in recipes that call for starchy dishes. Generally speaking, vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber, and celery are better suited to your ketogenic goals.
