Watermellon on Keto

[iced earth]

Can I eat watermellon an a Keto diet or are the natural sugars a no-no? Thanks

Sugar is sugar no matter where it comes from. And watermelon in particular is VERY high on the GI list and would kick your ass out of ketosis before you knew what hit you. It might even trigger a hyperglycemic coma

summers here ,and keto dieting is hard, craving icecream and all the delicious fruits but i must fight it

no sugar at all... NO FRUIT... no carbs of any type
except fiber!

Fiber is o.k on Keto?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

no you cannot

 

[Vageta]

Fiber isn't digested therefore will pass right through which is why green vegetables are ok to eat on a keto diet. Don't try to cheat the system however and sneak some carbs that you assume are mostly fiber. Beans are very high in fiber but I guarantee if you start fooling around with foods like this thinking you're under the magic 30g of carb limit then you're going to knock yourself out of ketosis and screw yourself up.

 

[cozmokramer]

you can eat all the fiber that you want...

NO carbohydrates of ANY TYPE....period...fiber or not, carbohydrate ratios should be kept under 15 carbs a day and no more then 6 carbs a meal. Otherwise, you are risking getting kicked out of 'Ketosis'.
