I get these questions all the time: can I eat cheese and nuts in ketosis? Can I drink coffee with keto?
Long story short, for most people, these aren’t a problem – though SOME may want to avoid them…here’s why-
If you are eating enough cheese to spike you over your carb limit or if you are highly sensitive to dairy then sure, cheese will be an issue – but its NOT an inherent “no no” in keto, in fact many cheeses have loads of fat and are loaded with fat soluble vitamins (K2 and D for instance). For most people cheese is, at it’s worst, neutral – and for many it’s an awesome addition if it’s from grass fed cows and ESPECIALLY if it’s unpasteurized and from grass fed A2 cattle. Of course, plenty of people have sensitivity to cheese and dairy (A1 casein), the amount of cheese that most people would eat on a well formulated ketogenic diet wouldn’t likely be a problem even for those with slight sensitivities, but some people need to avoid it. If you think you may be sensitive to dairy try cutting it out and see if the symptoms subside, quite simple test you can do at home!
Nuts are not inherently bad either, assuming you’re not eating enough to push you over your carb limit – the problem with nuts is the phytic acid content, but if you are eating them in moderation and not pounding jars of nut butter or eating loads of almond flour with every meal you won’t be creating problems with mineral deficiencies due to the mineral binding properties of phytic acid (which binds to magnesium, copper, zinc, and other minerals). In nature, nuts are VERY difficult to consume in large quantities, so I would posit that nuts should be used as adornments, not as a major source of macros – but eating moderate nuts is not going to mess with keto adaptation.
Coffee – not a problem for most people, could be taxing on the HPA axis for those with so called “adrenal fatigue” and I would say that long term high intake of coffee is not beneficial – but for most, a daily cup of coffee is not likely to make or break your health or adaptation to ketosis so if you love coffee and don’t wish to give it up DONT WORRY! Would I recommend people drink coffee or rely on stimulants for energy? NO…but it doesn’t mean someone can’t be in ketosis and have their coffee too! It can be a useful tool for people and will not condemn you to keto limbo unless you have major issues going on with your HPA axis and hormonal balance (which unfortunately some people do).

Lol I ate an entire wheel of brie cheese today it was 2000 calories not the best idea
I like the information you provide, but you don't need to go around and around with the camera. If you are shooting a video during the sunset, don't point the camera at it. Do it at a different time. Viewers can focus more on what you say with a stationary camera. Keep up the great info. I appreciate you sharing what you know.
Hey Tristan, quick question. I have never been big on coffee but before starting my keto diet I would take a pre workout powder before going to the gym fasted. I had a lot of caffeine and gave me a great workout. The only time I drink it is on the days that I work out. Is it ok to continue drinking it?
I drink one bulletproof coffee per day. Is that okay?
Get raw cheese , it has only 1g of carbs , it's mostly fat and some protein .
if someone wants to add more fat, can she eat almond butter instead of regular butter?
one guess as to who started this misinformation about cheese/nuts/caffeine"blocking keto adaptation"
Can I eat different nuts with no limit?I love nuts and here in Brasil,we have so many different,…but fishies and other sea food are so expensive here.Can I gon on normal with keto even this situation???
where do you live man, looks amazing
This diet just seems hard , if not possible, to maintain ur entire life. Wot about wen u travel, wen ur sick, wen ur out with family n friends, during special occasions or jus wen ur out n ur hungry n these foods r not in sight. All I see ppl talk about in this diet is grass fed meat, butter , coconut oils , avocado n eggs n abit of veg abit of cheese. I don't think it's possible to always find these foods wen ur out n just hungry n want a bite sum where. Wot else can one eat on this diet? Just these foods only, repeated over n over again in every vid becoz there's nothing else they can eat on this diet.
good stuff thanks for sharing <3 and peace
Is Fromunda cheese allowed on this diet?
casein in cheese they say its unhealthy any thoughts?
Wow…never thought about nuts that way. I'm gonna cut down immediately! Thanks for the info!
All the moving around is very annoying. I enjoy your videos. You have a pleasant voice tone and enjoy watching someone talking about sustainability. But please keep it still, or else, the message will be missed.
i love coffee ,nuts and cheese . But above all i love my coffee can't do away with that lol.
Where do you live? Paradise? Lol peaceful scenery
What about MCT? Will it break ur fast
Hey man I have a question : should I eat at work if I work graveyard 10pm-6am? I feel like it would throw off my eating schedule.
He said " moderate your nut intake" :)
Haha, he said, "soak your nuts"…..
A while past, I am organizing my diet method working with this keto guides.

It really gets the job done like a charm!
set down the camera…holy toledo horrible video quality
ive heard that caffeine bonds with the calcium in your body and essentially takes the calcium out of your body. have you heard anything about that?
Why cheese makes my face look bloated? Is there a type of cheese that can avoid that?
How about mayo & bacon? Bacon is cured in sugar and mayo has sugar in the ingredient's list? I would assume it wouldn't hurt but I've hear some ppl say you can't have NO sugar at all to become in ketosis state?
Why are u moving around , you gave me a headache
hi there, been enjoying your videos so far, thanks for getting to the point quickly. So, I've noticed you use quite a bit of avocado on this diet, so does everyone else because its so wonderfully high in fat. Unfortunately for me I developed some kind of allergy or sensitivity to avocados in my mid twenties, about 15 yrs ago…the same time I became allergic to shrimp and crabs. All 3 are foods I absolutely loved. My reaction to them is weird too…I dont break out in hives or anything, they just make me puke my guts out mid consumption. I've been busting my brain trying to figure out which other food item is comparable to an avocado, with the same fat content etc. Any suggestions, advice or tips?
'moderate your nut intake'…. awwwww cum on!!
You have to eat over 560 grams of cheese to go over a 20 gram carb limit. That's a LOT of cheese, especially if you're talking, say, shredded Mozzarella cheese. That's quite a heap of cheese. People are too hard on cheese. I agree that you can have cheese. I have it almost every day on my keto diet.
can you make a video about your thoughts of keto coffee/ bullet proof coffee/ coffee with butter and coconut oil?
How about decaf?
i don't think the "limited nuts found in nature, therefore you shouldn't eat many" holds ground in the Keto diet, considering it a 70% fat diet, which is definitely not the norm for a diet human evolved on.
Just eat what works for you!
I would add that hard cheeses are carb free and I would strive for grass-fed and raw cheeses.
why am i constipated after starting kept diet?
the camera is too close
