Today, you can “ketofy” nearly anything from pizza to
desserts so it’s much more
sustainable and the research shows the weight loss is maintained. Nutritional Completeness: 1. 6/5 Stars Rated as “extremely incomplete” in the nutrition category, panelists had concerns about the saturated fat content. One expert explained that ‘any diet that recommends snacking on bacon can’t be taken seriously as a health-promoting way to eat’ and another added that the keto diet is ‘nutritionally unbalanced and likely difficult for most people to stick with long-term, which means that any weight loss
will likely be regained. ’Counter: The experts continue to parrot the same talking point of too much saturated fat. Like with any diet, the way in which one chooses to approach the diet will cause significant variation of outcomes. For example, one can say she is vegan by living off soda, French fries, and egg-free baked goods. The same goes for keto—while keto can technically be achieved through copious amounts of bacon, and Big Macs without the bun, it’s not commonplace. Most keto dieters enjoy a variety of nutrient dense foods that don’t purely fall into the pork or red meat category such as wild fish, green vegetables, avocado, berries, and nuts. And by the way, aren’t we WAY past the whole saturated fat is bad for your health nonsense or is Ancel Keys still lurking around, making us all look silly?From a scientific standpoint, if there were any nutritional inadequacies, it would show when implementing a well
formulated ketogenic diet in safety parameters, etc. –which studies show is not the case.
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. Heavily processed cheese, like American singles, has two to three grams of carbs in just one slice and should be avoided on a keto diet. Melting Cheese & Cheese DipVelveeta and other similar block cheeses are the “I can’t believe it’s not butter” of cheeses.
