In this video, we’re going to talk about a common question I get: can I eat beets, carrots, peas, and tomatoes on keto?
This is a great question that can be confusing for many people starting keto. Let me break it down.
Foods (even vegetables) with high amounts of carbohydrates—especially sugars—can kick you out of ketosis. If the fiber is higher, it may help buffer the carbs and sugars somewhat.
Take a look at the nutrients in each of these vegetables.

Beets are fantastic for your liver and supply nutrients to the body. However, they may kick you out of keto if you have too much. Artichoke is the absolute worst vegetable to have on keto because they are very carbohydrate-dense.
