Tag: Sweet potatoes carbs

A medium sweet potato contains approximately 20-27 grams of carbohydrates, which can be over half of a standard keto dieter's daily carb limit. This high carb content is the primary reason why sweet potato fries are not generally allowed on a strict ketogenic diet.

Research indicates that during the strict two-week Atkins Induction phase, daily net carb intake is restricted to under 20 grams. This tight limit means you cannot eat sweet potatoes on Atkins induction due to their high carbohydrate count, which would quickly exceed your daily allowance.
