We are all familiar with the USDA Food Pyramid. It was an easy-to-understand visual display that promised that if you ate mainly from the food choices at the bottom of the pyramid, you’d achieve a healthy, balanced diet. Unfortunately, since that advice came out, obesity and diabetes rates have skyrocketed, indicating that it wasn’t the cure-all we’d hoped it would be.
Still, I liked the clarity of the pyramid graphic, so I thought, “Why not use it to simplify low carb and keto snacking?” Let’s take a look at what I came up with, and I invite you to comment and fill in any gaps that I may have missed.

Does heavy cream in my organic coffee count as my first meal if I drink several cups of coffee with it?
She has a previous video on that topic, it’s called , what breaks it fast.
Thanks!!
Good and succinct information 🙂
I found EPIC brand baked pork rinds with only ingredients of pork skin and salt. Very satisfying after a few pieces.
Can you drink the flavored lmnt while fasting?
Little bit of confusion with apples being on 2 shelves.
Eat like a lady, in other words keep starving ……
Have you even tried to eat this way? Probably not, otherwise you would know how fulfilling it is.
Thank you for putting this together.
I’m ketovore-ish, so my carb intake varies between about 5-25 total carbs a day, most days below 20. I live in the bottom tier with occasional forays into the one just above. Most of my carbs come from dairy.
I am learning the skill of intermittent fasting so I really try not to snack.
However I think this is a really good “gateway” into the low carb lifestyle.
If I find I must snack, for instance if I know I’m not able to have a full meal on time because of my schedule, I will have either a fatty coffee or a tablespoon pat of cold butter. Both are satisfying to me. If I am away from the house and I would have to buy something in order to snack, or have a good meal, well I would choose pepperoni, because of the keto protein-fat ratio. No need to add mayo, just eat out of the package (hopefully I have a napkin!) My husband loves pepperoni with cream cheese.
I would add, have a drink of water, with the snack, it just helps with everything.
Thank you Dr. Becky!
Have you tried Healthy Noodles sold by Cosco they are soy based I believe. Net carbs quite low. Ready to use .
Natural saturated fats are just that “Natural” and beneficial. Fried chicken skin is a super snack assuming it has been fried in its own or other animal fat,
Very valuable information 👍 Thank you, Dr Becky!
Bacon is definitely on the bottom shelf for me…🤭 This pyramid is Awesome! May be drawing and posting on fridge!
