The Basics of Keto

Before going into details about your snacking options on a keto diet, let’s recap on how a ketogenic diet works! A keto diet includes food items that are high in good fats and low in carbohydrates, and contain appropriate amounts of protein. The diet is rooted in ketosis, which is a process that uses fats instead of glucose, for energy, which helps your body burn fat and leads to healthy weight loss.

Besides the weight loss and weight management benefits of a keto diet, the diet has multiple other benefits that can improve our overall physical and mental well-being. Here’s a deep dive into what a keto diet can do for you when properly followed:

1.   You’ll experience a reduced appetite.

We feel hungry because of many chemical reactions in our body. Adiponectin is a hormone that regulates our glucose levels and increases our appetite. If you are following a keto diet, your adiponectin levels decrease, resulting in a reduced appetite. Many studies show that the process of ketosis also reduces the hormone ghrelin in your body, resulting in a reduced appetite.

2.   You’ll notice a substantial weight loss initially.

Being a low-carb diet, a keto diet can decimate your calorie intake. Besides this, eating less carbs results in getting rid of excess water and lowering insulin levels, both of which are related to rapid weight loss in the initial days of your keto diet.

3.   Your good HDL Cholesterol will increase.

When you cut down on carbs while following a keto diet, your fat and protein intake increases. If you follow the keto diet properly and eat only the good fats, it will eventually result in increased High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are linked to a lower risk of heart diseases.

4.   Your insulin and blood sugar levels will decrease.

All over the world, millions of people suffer from insulin resistance and diabetes. Being a low-carb diet, a keto diet efficiently reduces the insulin levels and reduces the risk of diabetes. Some studies have even claimed that this process may ‌even reverse type-2 diabetes.

5.   Your PCOS Symptoms will improve.

High-carb intake can worsen the health of people with PCOS. Reduction in insulin levels and healthy weight loss are some of the ways that can help improve PCOS symptoms. With keto diet being a low-carb diet that results in reduced insulin levels and weight loss, it can become easier to manage PCOS and PCOD.

Snacking Ideas When Doing a Keto Diet

Untimely hunger or not having the right snacks by our side while following a keto friendly diet can send us into a spiral of cheat meals. But contrary to popular belief, there are many snacks that we can eat while on a keto friendly diet, which are listed below:

• CHEESE

Because keto is a high-protein and fat intake diet, cheese is one of the favorite food items among keto dieters. When choosing a cheese as a snack, make sure that it has high fat, moderate protein, and low carbs for optimal results.

• GREEN BELL PEPPER

One of the most keto friendly diet snacks, green bell pepper, contains moderate amounts of net carbs. Also, because they are minimally processed, bell peppers are free of harmful ingredients like artificial sweeteners which can reduce the benefits of keto diet.

• CELERY STICKS

This antioxidant-filled vegetable has both short term and long-term health benefits. Celery is 100% keto friendly as it is low on calories and carbs. It also keeps your appetite in check, as it is 96% water.

• NUT BUTTERS

Nut butters are fulfilling and nutritious, as they are high on fat and low on carbs. Peanut and almond are some of the best keto snacks you can include in your diet chart. Being sugar-free, they let the process of ketosis function well in the body.

• AVOCADOS

For people following the keto diet, avocados are a much sought-after choice, as they are highly rich in fats and low on net carbs. Avocados contain fiber, which makes them one of the few keto snacks which you can eat on a daily basis.

• MIXED NUTS

Mixed nuts are a go-to snack for many keto dieters as these nuts are high in fat and low in carbs, making them ideal keto food. Another benefit of nuts is that they can be eaten in many forms, including nut butters, nut milks, nut flours, and even yogurt. You can eat pecan nuts, Brazil nuts, coconut, walnut, hazelnuts, macadamia, almonds, and peanuts in moderation. Avoid cashews and chestnuts.
