More Dieter-Friendly Foods

Dieter-friendly foods typically share characteristics such as low calories, high fiber, and essential nutrients that support overall health while aiding weight management. I recently blogged about celery, which I call a "dieter's friend". Here are several other foods that can be classified as dieter-friendly, along with the reasons why they are effective for those looking to maintain or lose weight: Leafy Greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard) High in fiber and very low in calories, leafy greens can be added to meals in large quantities without significantly increasing calorie intake. They're also rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) Berries are low in calories but high in fiber and nutrients. They also contain natural sugars, which can satisfy sweet cravings without the calorie load of refined sugars. Berries are also permitted on many low-carb diets. Just be careful not to eat too many.

Is Cheese Low in Carbohydrates?


If you are like me you love cheese, but when you are trying to stay low on carbs, there are a few things to note...

The fat to carbohydrate ratio of foods is very important if you are doing keto. For example, cream cheese is considered good for a low carb or keto diet because its F/C ratio is 5:1 (5 grams fat to 1 gram carb).

Be careful with provolone, parmigiano, pecorino and yogurt. They have more carbs than cream cheese.

Processed cheese has LOTS of carbs, so stay away from it.

Goat cheese, blue cheese, and gorgonzola are good.

Ricotta is OK but not great.

Cottage cheese is typically low in carbs but it has too much protein, especially if it is low fat. Stick with full fat, and don't eat a lot of it...

MAKE SURE YOU READ FOOD LABELS before you buy!
