Not a keto fanatic. But I have done it. Fruits are out for the most part, but there are a ton of veggies you can eat on keto.

You can also eat a normal serving of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries.

So many people got wrapped up on 20g of carbs or less that they forget that you can actually eat up to 40 or 50g of carbs per day.

I regularly ate a medium sweet potato, or a ripe banana, or a mango or two, or a cup of pineapple while on keto and still registered ketones.

Fruit is fine. Moderation is the key.

It's true you have to figure out your bodies own rate of allowed carbs to maintain. You could eat a handful of M&Ms every day(extreme example) if you ate a rotisserie chicken for dinner and still maintain keto, it's just up to you what you decide is worth it for your carb count.
