How To Make The Most Of Those Ingredients That Get The Keto Diet?

Love for the keto diet is still going strong today!

Keto diet is a diet like no other. Combining the power of restricting calorie intake with the amazing benefits of nutritional ketosis, it is really a great and effective way to improve overall health and, of course, lose weight!

Although it might be a bit demanding in terms of monitoring like using strips for your urine to make sure that you are in ketosis, it indeed provides amazing results.

If you want to make the most out the ingredients used in your keto diet in order to bring more benefits, then here are some valuable tips for you:

1. Choose Healthy Eggs

Eggs are a popular staple in a keto diet regimen. This superfood offers great health benefits that go beyond losing weight— from its antioxidant properties to keeping blood sugar level stable.

A large egg contains only less than 6 grams of protein and 1 gram of carbs which makes it a perfect Keto-friendly food. If you would like to find the healthiest egg possible, then seek out egg farmers which give their chickens access to pasture where they can soak up in the sun and eat plenty of insects.

2. Use Olive in Raw Form

Containing only 2 grams of total carbs, olive oil contains numerous health-promoting compounds and is a must-have seasoning for most keto foods.

However, some fats in olive oil can become rancid when they are exposed to temperatures that are higher than 375° Fahrenheit. So, it is best that you cook with it in a low temperature or just it in its eat raw form. You can put it on your vegetables and salads in order to add some extra healthy fats to your keto meal as well as increasing the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from veggies.

3. Choose fatty poultry, fish and red meat with skin on

In order to stay in ketosis, you need enough healthy fats in your body. Therefore, you should go with fatty red meat cuts from bison, beef, and lambs; fatty fish like an eel, sardines, mackerel, herring and salmon; and poultry such as turkey, duck, and chicken with their skins not remove.

Also, in order to get the most benefits from your meat, go for 100% grass-fed pasture-raised poultry and red meat. These have healthier ratios of omega 6 to omega 3 fats and is loaded with more antioxidants than grain-fed animals.

4. Use vegetables to transport fat

Neglecting vegetables is a major mistake by most keto diet beginners. However, vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. There are numerous options that are high in fibers and low-carb vegetables which you can enjoy during a keto diet. Plus, you can use them as a transportation for fats in order to maximize the effects of your keto diet.

Pick a low-carb veggie such:

• Bok Choy
• Brussels sprouts
• Cabbage
• Asparagus
• Radish
• Mushrooms
• Cucumber
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Celery
• Zucchini
• Leafy greens like arugula, romaine, kale, and spinach

Then, you can add high-fat dressings such as pumpkin seed oil, MCT oil or extra virgin avocado or olive oil in order to still be in line with your keto rules. You can also add more fatty ingredients such as mayonnaise, tahini, and dairy free yogurt or full-fat dairy.

5. Be Wary of Dark Chocolates

The dark pleasure of dark chocolates is extremely irresistible and they really go well with Keto diets.  However, this does not mean that you can buy every dark chocolate in the store and eat as much as you want.

Most chocolate goods contain high net carbs that would remove you out of ketosis real quick! It is really helpful to have strips that check your urine to see if you aren’t out of ketosis. So, when buying chocolates or cocoa products, make sure to read the labels first in order to ensure that there are no extra sugars in it and it has a least amount of carbohydrates per serving.
