Gift Your Friend A Ketosis Fruit Basket To Make Her Stay On Track And Also Feel Fulfilled

One of the biggest diets of the year is ketosis. However all the butter, meat and cheese involved in the diet can make a person feel really heavy. They will want some kind of balance, some acidity, some sweet and soon they will start craving fruits  like they never did before. If your friend is in deep in this diet, you’ll often find her telling herself, ‘How bad could a fruit be? A nice slice of a mango couldn’t do me any harm.’ But not so fast. On this high fat diet, you’re only allowed to have 5 to 10 percent of your energy from carbohydrates to stay in the ketosis diet. In this diet, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. And if you didn’t know this already, fruit is very high in carbs,  all thanks to the natural sugars.
For example take blueberries. One cup of the same contains around 18 gms of carbs  which equals to a day’s worth of carbohydrates and that also minus the fibre. On a ketosis diet one is supposed be eating less than 20 gms of carbohydrates a day. What makes it even sadder is that the tastiest fruits (i.e. the sweetest) are the highest in carbs-  like melon, mango, peaches, bananas, lychees etc.

If your friend is sticking with her ketosis diet as faithfully as possible, ketosis luxury fruit hampers on her birthday will make her very happy. Given below are few ketosis friendly fruits that you can gift her.

    1. Avocado: If you didn’t know this already, then the creamy avocado is actually a fruit. It’s the best for a ketosis diet because not only does half the avocado contain around 15 gms of good heart fat, but it also has less than 2 grams of carbs as well. Avocado makes a great addition to green smoothies. However even when it comes to a great food like avocado, you need to keep in mind that it’s intake needs to be restricted as well.
    1. Olives: Again, if you thought olives weren’t a fruit then now you know. A pack of ten olives have about three grams of fat and about 1.5 gms of net carbs. The bonus  with this is that they are salty and sodium is something you really need when you are following a ketosis diet.
    1. Blackberries: Blackberries have a very impressive amount of fibre, which amounts to only two grams per quarter cup. Every serving has around 1.5 grams of carbs. Adding this to your daily diet with yoghurt will keep you fit.
    1. Strawberries: A quarter cup of strawberries has around 2 gms of net carbs, which aims at 10 percent of your daily limit if it’s 20 gms every day.
  1. Raspberries: A quarter cup of raspberries gives you around 1.5 grams of carbs. You can toss the raspberries in a salad with heavy whipping cream and it will taste heavenly and along with it, you’ll have a ketosis friendly dessert as well. A fruit basket delivery uk can have a mixture of all these fruits.
