Keto Beef Jerky Guide
Succeeding on keto is all about perfecting your low-carb snack game. Of course, getting your meals locked down and meal prepping your heart out helps, but there will always be moments on keto when you open the pantry and peruse the shelves like some hungry hawk looking for its prey. And in those stomach-growling moments, you need something fast, healthy, filling, and zero-carb. Otherwise, you risk breaking your ketosis in a moment of weakness and potentially ruining weeks of progress! We can NOT allow that to happen, keto warriors!
Low-carb beef jerky sticks are the ticket, the secret snack savior that will be your guiding light, and weāre not talking about those nasty gas station meat experiments. Weāre talking about real, non-GMO, sugar-free, grass-fed beef served up in easy-to-go packaging.
But before we go deeper into why low-carb beef jerky sticks are the beeās knees on keto, letās cover a bit of the basics.
What is keto?
Keto is a low-carb diet that is designed to help you shed fat by activating your bodyās natural defense mechanism against starvation. By restricting carbohydrates, your body begins to prioritize fat for its energy source, resulting in weight loss. This altered āsurvival stateā is known as ketosis, and thatās why we call it the keto diet. The exact ceiling of carbohydrates you can have each day to enter and remain in ketosis varies, but most people aim for 20-50 net grams of carbohydrates per day. We calculate net carbs because some carbs like fibers arenāt digested by our bodies and therefore arenāt relevant.
What can you eat on keto?
Keto is all about eating a low-carb, high-fat, and high-protein diet. As long as you stay below your carbohydrate threshold, anything is fair game. That means bacon, eggs, avocados ā whatever! You can technically eatĀ anyĀ food (even sweets!) as long as it doesnāt break you out of ketosis. You just have to keep track.Ā With that in mind, there really arenāt any foods that we consider ānot allowedā on keto. Itās more identifying foods that are āketo-friendlyā. This is what youāll be eating the most of since you have to stick to low-carb foods to avoid breaking out of ketosis.

A short list of keto-friendly foods
Any meats, poultry, or seafood that donāt have added sugar. Eggs, cheese, yogurt, and other sugar-free dairy products. Fresh green veggies, onions, bell peppers, and other low-carb vegetables. Avocados, olive oil, mayo, mustard.
A short List of Keto-Banned Foods
Remember, as long as you arenāt breaking yourself out of your allotted carbohydrate ceiling, you can still eat any of these foods. These are just generally avoided on keto because they are high in carbohydrates and therefore not āketo-friendlyā. All sugar and sugary products. Bread and other grain products.
