Nuts and Seeds on a Ketogenic Diet

Nuts and Seeds on a Ketogenic Diet

Nuts and Seeds are delicious and so addictive, that's why people usually get worried about consuming them on a Keto plan due to their high-fat levels.

But there's no need to be worried, a moderate amount of some kinds of nut will not kick you out of Ketosis.

The best choice of nuts on Keto is Pecans, it's so high in good fats and doesn't trigger your insulin. Macadamia nuts and walnuts are a great choice as well but we should be careful when it comes about consuming cashews because they're a bit higher on carbs compared to the previously listed nuts. 

Cashews are more addictive than other nuts, but taking them in moderation will not cause you any harm.

Nut butter is a good delicious type of food as well but it's allowed only if it doesn't contain any added sugars, hydrogenated oils, monosodium glutamate or any kind of modified food starch that they tend to add to nut butter so it tastes better, always make sure to read the labels on the grocery store before buying your peanut or almond butter.
Raw nuts are always better than roasted ones, but they're rich in phytic acid that tends to irritate the gallbladder, that's why you'll have to make sure not to consume a big amount of raw nuts, 2 to 3 ounces are pretty much enough.

Seeds are better, much healthier and higher in nutrients than nuts, they contain fewer carbohydrates and more fat, which makes of them a better option.
The best seeds for the ketogenic diet are sunflower seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds; you can mix all of them and make a yummy homemade cracker, or sprinkle them on top of your salad to enjoy the crunchiness.
