Some grains or all grains are off-limits on many keto and low-carb diets. Unless you’re following a paleo keto-style diet where you avoid grains, you might be wondering whether you can incorporate grains into your ketogenic diet. Let’s discuss the ins and outs of grains on keto!!Simple and Complex CarbsFoods high in fiber have a lower number of net carbs. Net carbs are the carbs your body actually absorbs. To calculate net carbs, subtract the grams of fiber from the total grams of carbs. [1](Total grams of carbs – grams of fiber = net carbs)Some grains are lower in carbs and higher in fiber, while others are higher in carbs and should definitely be avoided on keto. Carbohydrates are categorized into simple and complex. [2] Starch and fiber are complex carbs, and sugar is a simple carb. To simplify: fiber is a type of carb, but you can’t digest it; rather, it feeds the healthy bacteria in your gut. Starch is more like long chains of sugar molecules connected together (envision a sugary pearl necklace), and your body breaks starch down into individual sugar pearls or units. [3]Simple CarbsRefined white flour is simple carbsSimple carbohydrates have one or two sugar molecules.

Benefits of OnionsBesides providing a delicious flavor, onions actually pack multiple health benefits. Onions contain micronutrients such as vitamin B, vitamin C, and potassium. They are all packed full of antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. [1]Onions are rich in the antioxidant quercetin, which has been shown to improve blood pressure levels in clinical trials. [2] Additionally, research has shown that the consumption of raw onions may help individuals with PCOS lower cholesterol levels.

Counter: While we
agree that keto is a fast and effective strategy for
weight loss, it
should have received an excellent rating (not just average) in this category. Studies show that following a ketogenic diet is superior in inducing weight loss in patients with obesity. The induced weight loss is rapid, intense, and sustained until at least two years. [1]. While we’re focusing on short-term weight loss for this category, these findings of sustainment for ‘at least’ two years indicate that keto may also produce long-term results. Further, studies done studies done in obese men found significantly greater weight loss over a four-week period when subjects were allowed to eat “ad libitum” or as
much as they wanted when they were eating keto vs a moderate carb diet (-6. 34 kg vs 4. 35 kg). [2] Additionally, a paper published in Nature found that subjects assigned to a “low calorie” (500 – 1000 calorie deficit) still didn’t lose as much weight as subjects on a ketogenic diet. After four months of eating a keto diet, 85% of subjects lost >10% of their body weight while only 17% in the low-calorie group accomplished the same. [3] Not to mention, their HA1C levels dropped by nearly a point in the ketogenic diet group which was significantly better than the low-calorie group, only in the same time period.
