Counter: Of all the areas for these experts to lend support to a low carb, ketogenic diet, this should be the one. The data is OVERWHELMINGLY clear that a ketogenic diet can not only help prevent diabetes but actually has been shown to reverse it. Despite the fact that the CDC
still recommends that those with type II diabetes consume 225 grams of carbohydrates per day, doctors are speaking out against this recommendation as it keeps patients on the vicious cycle of diabetes medication requiring carbohydrates to prevent hypoglycemia, followed by needing the medication for insulin that is released after the consumed carbs. A recent meta-analysis which included 20 years of published research studying the effects of a ketogenic diet on patients with type 2 diabetes. The review concluded that ketogenic diet is ‘superior’ in terms of glycemic control—the results were
significant enough to recommend the keto diet as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. [15]Another recent study concludes that in addition to reduction in body weight and improving lipid profile, there was a significant improvement in HbA1c and reduction in the intake of insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes. [16] Not only does this research show how the keto diet can lead to weight loss and
improved metabolic health, it’s also monetarily cost effective as it reduces the need for insulin and oral antidiabetic drugs. Lastly, our friends at Virta Health are doing incredible work reversing type 2 diabetes with their low carb protocols. One of their studies
shows that this dietary monitoring protocol lowered glycemic control medication from 55. 7 to 26. 8% including insulin (-62%) and sulfonylureas (-100%).
Since yellow onions are the lowest in net carbohydrates, try swapping those out for sweet onions or red onions otherwise used in your diet to limit carb consumption.

Chimichurri Steak SkewersPhilly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers Broccoli Rabe SaladGarlic Beef NoodlesLamb ChopsHave you ever looked at the ingredients on the back of a bag of shredded cheese? What about processed cheese slices? You might expect the only ingredient to be cheese, but in reality, these products have additives that alter the nutrition content and add hidden carbs! You are going to want to avoid these four types of cheese on the keto diet! Shredded Cheese Nutrition InformationIn order to keep shredded cheese from caking together, starches are added. Commonly added starches include potato starch and cellulose. These are basically pure carbohydrates, so they aren’t exactly keto-friendly. Additionally, natamycin, a common anti-fungal, is also added to cheeses (specifically shredded cheese) to prevent mold. Instead, try shredding cheese yourself at home for the perfect keto alternative! A block of cheese does not contain any additives and can be shredded by cutting a cheese grater or food processor. Sliced Cheese Nutrition InformationWhile most cheese slices are simply slices of cheese, you will want to watch out for a few things. First off, avoid American singles (or slices). These individually wrapped cheese slices can barely even be classified as cheese! Instead, they are considered a “cheese product”. These cheese slices contain modified food starch, whey concentrate, calcium phosphate, potassium citrate, sodium phosphate, and sorbic acid. Instead, stick to cheeses with only one ingredient–the cheese! These cheeses will have <1g net carb in one serving.
