transitioning to keto breakfast
”Counter: The keto
diet employs a variety of whole foods, and the best part is most are naturally occurring since cutting out most carbohydrates means leaving processed foods on the shelves where they belong. While opponents repeat the talking point of being limited to red meat and bacon, the keto diet encompasses a wide variety of foods. The staples of the keto foods list include lettuces, leafy greens, green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, berries, avocado, bell pepper, olives, fish, shellfish, poultry, beef, wild game, cheese,
plain yogurt, butter, ghee, nuts, seeds, nut and seed butters, and healthy oils
such olive, walnut, coconut, and avocado. Oh and when you do want to switch it up you can make keto waffles, keto pancakes, or even keto cookies. Lastly, scientific research shows that 80+% of subjects in a study were able to adhere to the diet over a six month period which is quite high in research. [8]Safety: 2/5 StarsThe keto diet was rated poorly in the category of safety, due to the high fat content. One panelist stated the diet could be dangerous for some while another cautioned those with heart disease, kidney disease, and severe diabetes against adoption of the diet.

96g of net carbs per 100g. On a ketogenic diet that limits carbohydrate consumption to 5% of total daily calories, the average person can only consume 20-25g of net carbs a day. Unfortunately, a 100g serving of onions (of any variety) is over a quarter of your total daily calories. That doesn’t mean that you have to completely cut onions out of your diet. Instead, practice consuming them in small quantities. A 100g serving is about ⅔ cup of chopped onion. Since this is a pretty large serving for onions, it should be easy to reduce the serving size consumed to limit the total number of carbohydrates being consumed. Try sticking to ¼ – ⅓ cup servings of onions. 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.
