Avocado oil is the natural oil pressed from the pulp of an avocado. Almost 70% of avocado oil consists of heart-healthy oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid.
Most research suggests that a diet rich in unsaturated fats is beneficial for health and may reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and dementia.
Avocados are a natural and healthy choice when it comes to a keto diet as they contain 1.9g of protein, 1.9g of carbohydrates and 19.7g of fat per 100g. They are also a good source of important nutrients including potassium, calcium, magnesium and B vitamins.
The keto diet is all about fat. This is, after all, an eating plan in which up to 80 percent of the total daily calories are supposed to come from fat, so it is going to be the main nutrient you focus on most.
