RELATED: What Is Ketosis? Here’s Everything You Need to Know As a result of those satiating fats required by the ketogenic diet, you may find you’re not craving snacks as much as you usually do. “I find people who follow the ketogenic diet, they’re just not as hungry, so their snack frequency comes down,” says Dina Griffin, RDN, with eNRG Performance in Littleton, Colorado. “There’s just so much fat in their diet, so they say, ‘I don’t want to eat again,’ or ‘I can’t, I’m just not hungry.’” But when the snack cravings strike (and if you’re a snacker, you know they eventually will), it’s best to have a plan in place. Especially because your favorite snacks, such as cereal bars, chips, or any of the packaged foods in your office vending machine, won’t cut it when following the keto diet. Your game plan: Keep a bunch of easy snacks in the back of your mind so you’re prepared when hunger hits. Simplicity is key here, because when you’re hungry you won’t have the time or patience to run to the store and fix something up. That’s why we’ve focused this list of 10 keto-friendly snacks on ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
