Exactly, there shouldn't really be foods that are off limits. Only foods that don't fit you're diet. You follow keto, therefore you likely won't have source or silhouette yogurt on your diet - but you don't avoid it completely. Most extremists eliminate all forms of even whey protein for over a month before the show. Or eliminate all fruit, etc etc. I understand if you follow keto you probably aren't eating 10 bananas a day - but the same person eliminating whey, yogurt, and apples, will still consume sweet potatoes, rice, and dextrose.

I don't believe in cutting things from your diet that you enjoy. If you want cream in your morning coffee and that's your thing, then have it! Whatever makes things easier is the way to go. Bodybuilding is not a contest to see who can suffer the most - or the ones who make it hardest wins. If you want to pick a time to suffer, save it for the squat rack- make those muscles hurt!
