Foods to Avoid at Whole Foods
Dried Fruits – many of these are full of sugar and high in carbs
Healthy Organic Juices and Drinks – many of these are sweetened with organic sugar, agave or other “healthy” sweeteners that will have an impact on your blood sugar.
Bulletproof Bars and Drinks – many snack bars and drinks are marketed “keto-friendly” these days but that doesn’t mean they . Many of these products are high in carbs and with a long list of questionable ingredients.
Try these Keto Granola Bars that are made with ingredients you can feel good about. And if you don’t feel like making your own, Quest Protein Bars are a popular choice with many keto followers.
Low Fat Yogurt or Yogurt Covered Anything – many of the low fat yogurts are full of sugar. If you’re craving yogurt, choose a brand that is high in protein, full-fat and low in carbs. Kite Hill – plain is an option for an occasional treat.
Organic Snacks such as Veggie Straws or Smart Sweets – Whole Foods has a massive selection of chips and sweets. However, many of them are made with high carb fillers and sweetened with weird ingredients and harsh on your digestive system
