Thai Ingredients Allowed in Keto Diets
When on a keto diet, there’s no need to feel limited on what food you can have. Since keto is simply avoiding carbs, there are a ton of no-carb dishes that will excite your taste buds. Thai food has many main ingredients that are keto-friendly.
- Natural fats (olive oil, butter, etc.)
- Fish & seafood
- Eggs
- Meat
- Cheese
- Most vegetables
Since Thai dishes are often revolved around meat, it’s easy to keep the delicious flavors and avoid carbs at the same time. Above we mentioned “most vegetables.” This is because not all vegetables are keto-friendly, however, lucky for you a lot of the most popular and tasty vegetables are. Vegetables that are not keto friends are potatoes, corn, peas, squash, yams, and parsnips. Other than those, all other vegetables are fair game for your keto diet!
Thai Ingredients to Avoid in Keto Diets
This list of ingredients to avoid might seem very limiting, however, most restaurants will work with you to substitute certain ingredients for ones that are keto-friendly. Ingredients to avoid include:
- Fruit
- Pasta
- Rice
- Bread
- Soda, juice, beer
- The vegetables we named above
Of course, there will be some Thai dishes totally off-limits for your keto diet. Dishes that revolve around rice and some Thai desserts won’t be an option. However, as mentioned above, a lot of restaurants and especially Amarin of Thailand will assist you in substituting non-keto-friendly ingredients with keto-friendly ingredients!
