Craving some garlic bread to go with your spaghetti squash? Remember that a high carbohydrate intake will prevent your body from staying in ketosis (a state in which the body must draw on its fat stores for energy). One piece of bread, and you will have consumed too many carbohydrates for your body to no longer burn fat stores.
“On a ketogenic diet, you have to avoid carbs,” Weaver says. This means: no bread, pasta, crackers and cookies. Also, you should totally ditch foods and drinks that contain sugar — ice cream, cake, pudding, and soft and sugary drinks.”
