<link>https://perfectketo.com/keto-snacks-reddit/</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false" >https://perfectketo.com/?p=615097</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;We’ve scoured the internet to bring you the top &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-snacks/"&gt;keto snacks&lt;/a&gt; Reddit users recommend. These tasty treats have not only gained the approval of real people but are also packed with nutrients that support a ketogenic lifestyle. Whether you need a quick breakfast, a satisfying afternoon bite, or a guilt-free sweet dessert, these keto snacks have got you covered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;15 Best Keto Snacks Reddit Users Recommend&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Below is our list of Reddit’s favorite keto snacks for those moments when you are short on ideas;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615103" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rebel.jpeg" alt="Rebel" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rebel.jpeg 1200w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rebel-900x450.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rebel-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rebel-768x384.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;1. Rebel Ice Cream&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Redditer calls Rebel Ice Cream a gift from God and we couldn’t agree more. Unlike some &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/best-keto-ice-cream/"&gt;keto ice cream brands&lt;/a&gt;, Rebel doesn’t compromise on taste and nutrition. With Rebel, you get the sweetness and creaminess of ice cream without the sugar. Each serving has only 1.3 grams of net carbs but even when you feel like taking on the whole pint, you get only 3.9 grams total. All this for only $6.49 per pint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615117" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rebel-ice-cream-reddit.jpeg" alt="rebel ice cream reddit" width="1283" height="413" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rebel-ice-cream-reddit.jpeg 1283w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rebel-ice-cream-reddit-900x290.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rebel-ice-cream-reddit-1024x330.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/rebel-ice-cream-reddit-768x247.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1283px) 100vw, 1283px"&gt;
&lt;img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615102" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip.jpeg" alt="Reddi Wip" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip.jpeg 1200w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-900x450.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-768x384.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;2. Reddi Wip Sugar Free Whipped Cream&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Redditor has a keto-friendly dessert hack featuring Reddi Wip Sugar-Free Whipped Cream. They suggest freezing a small dish of this creamy delight, transforming it into a delightful mini ice cream sundae. If you’re not a fan of cinnamon, you can customize your sundae with alternative toppings. Consider sprinkling chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for added texture and a nutty flavor. Additionally, you can drizzle a sugar-free caramel or butterscotch sauce for a rich and indulgent twist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615119" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-Sugar-Free-Whipped-Cream-Reddit.jpeg" alt="Reddi Wip Sugar Free Whipped Cream Reddit" width="1283" height="557" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-Sugar-Free-Whipped-Cream-Reddit.jpeg 1283w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-Sugar-Free-Whipped-Cream-Reddit-900x391.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-Sugar-Free-Whipped-Cream-Reddit-1024x445.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Reddi-Wip-Sugar-Free-Whipped-Cream-Reddit-768x333.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1283px) 100vw, 1283px"&gt;
&lt;img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615101" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Salted-peanuts.jpeg" alt="Salted peanuts" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Salted-peanuts.jpeg 1200w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Salted-peanuts-900x450.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Salted-peanuts-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Salted-peanuts-768x384.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;3. Salted Peanuts&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peanuts provide a satisfying crunch and savory flavor without compromising your carb intake. On average, a 1-ounce (about 28 grams) serving of dry-roasted, unsalted peanuts contains approximately 2.2 grams of net carbs. When choosing peanuts, avoid varieties with additives like sugar coatings or brittles. Go for the plain unsweetened versions to ensure that you are actually getting &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-nuts/"&gt;keto-friendly nuts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615120" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/salted-peanuts-reddit.jpeg" alt="salted peanuts reddit" width="1283" height="309" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/salted-peanuts-reddit.jpeg 1283w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/salted-peanuts-reddit-900x217.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/salted-peanuts-reddit-1024x247.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/salted-peanuts-reddit-768x185.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1283px) 100vw, 1283px"&gt;
&lt;img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-615100" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Keto-Granola.jpeg" alt="Keto Granola" width="1200" height="600" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Keto-Granola.jpeg 1200w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Keto-Granola-900x450.jpeg 900w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Keto-Granola-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Keto-Granola-768x384.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;4. Keto Cinnamon Pecan Crunch Granola by The Granola Bakery&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;10. Ole Xtreme Wellness Wraps&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These wraps come in two sizes and we have serving suggestions from this Redditor for both. The larger ones are perfect for sandwiches or can be cut up and air-fried for a crunchy chip-like snack. Alternatively, you can use the smaller Tomato Basil ones for making stovetop tortilla pizzas, offering endless meal possibilities. These wraps offer an impressive nutritional profile with 7 grams of fiber and only 30 calories per serving. They are also Keto Certified, containing just 2 grams of net carbs. Moreover, they are made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, giving you healthy fats and adding a touch of Mediterranean flavor to your keto meals.&lt;/p&gt;

They boast zero net carbs and provide a substantial 7 grams of protein per serving. For the best flavor and texture, ThinSlim recommends toasting. You can enjoy them with cream cheese, use them as a base for sandwiches, or get creative with your favorite toppings.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Slow Digesting Carbs: Definition, Food List, and More</title>
<link>https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false" >https://perfectketo.com/?p=614033</guid>
<description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/slow-digestion-carbs-1024x683.jpg" class="ff-og-image-inserted"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the three types of macronutrients, carbohydrates are probably the most controversial. Some say that carbs are beneficial, while others who’ve cut back on their overall carb intake have achieved lower blood sugar and even weight loss. The reality is that not all carbs are equal — which leads us to the concept of slow-digesting carbs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those who are not ready to give up carbs or prefer having them for their workouts and to get more fiber in their diet, choosing slow carbs is the way to go.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This article helps you understand the difference between slow-digesting and fast-digesting carbs, and what to eat for your health and performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are Slow Digesting Carbs?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slow-digesting carbs, also called &lt;i&gt;slow-releasing carbs &lt;/i&gt;or &lt;i&gt;slow-acting carbs&lt;/i&gt;, are the type of carbohydrates that are slowly absorbed in the body. They’re low on the glycemic index (GI), meaning that they have minimal effect on your blood sugar (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). Examples of slow carbs include leafy greens, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, eggplant, and quinoa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Slow vs. Fast Digesting Carbs&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While slow-release carbs release glucose in your bloodstream more slowly, fast-digesting carbs are the opposite. These carbs are high on the glycemic index, causing your blood sugar to spike. Given that fast-digesting carbs serve as a quick source of energy, they’re best consumed before or after workouts, especially workouts that involve quick bursts of energy — e.g. sprinting, jumping, and heavy lifting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Examples of fast-digesting carbs include white rice, white bread, pasta, bananas, pastries, regular soda, fruit juices, and highly processed foods with &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/hidden-sugars/"&gt;added sugars&lt;/a&gt;. Consuming large amounts of fast-digesting carbs more frequently may lead to increased cravings and overeating (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). According to research, high GI diets are linked to type 2 diabetes, increased heart disease risk, and certain cancers (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Characteristics of Slow-Digesting Carbs&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Foods that digest slowly possess certain qualities. If you’re looking to eat more slow-release carbs for their health benefits, choose those that are high in fiber, have a low GI rating, and are unprocessed. Let’s dive into each quality in the next paragraphs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fiber is a type of carbohydrate, although the body is unable to digest it. If you’re at risk of diabetes or already have the condition, fiber reduces the rate at which glucose is absorbed (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). Besides slowing glucose absorption, fiber increases your perceived satiety, helping control your appetite (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). It may not be necessary to completely forgo carbs if you can opt for high-fiber foods instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A low GI score of 1 to 55 is another important characteristic of slow-digesting carbs. For example, broccoli (a slow carb) has a GI value of 15 while white bread (a fast-acting carb) has a GI value of 100. Between the two, white bread should be avoided if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain healthy blood sugar levels — unless you need quick energy close to your workout.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many foods in their whole unprocessed forms, such as vegetables and fruits, are sources of slow-acting carbs. When buying fresh produce, opt for the ones that are high in fiber and low on the glycemic index. In contrast, many processed foods, such as potato chips and biscuits, are classified as fast-acting carbs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Benefits of Consuming Slow Digestive Carbs&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essentially, slow-digesting carbs are better than fast-acting carbs in many aspects. Obtaining most or all of your carbohydrate needs from these foods can speed up weight loss naturally, boost cognition, and reduce your risk of metabolic disease.&lt;br&gt;Here’s how slow carbs can be good for you:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Steady release of energy&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As mentioned previously in this article, fiber (whether soluble or insoluble) take longer to digest. For this reason, blood sugar rises more gradually, allowing you to experience stable energy for hours — without the highs and lows.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the contrary, foods with a high glycemic load are more likely to cause fatigue and even mood disturbances (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;May improve blood sugar control&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fiber that’s present in slow carbs takes longer to digest, lessening a food’s impact on your blood sugar. This makes slow-digesting carbs a healthier option for individuals who have diabetes. Large prospective studies have consistently shown that a higher fiber intake is associated with a 20–30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;May enhance satiety and supports weight management&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Satiety is one of the keys to losing weight and keeping it off. Instead of cutting calories, filling up on foods that make you satisfied but do not spike your blood sugar is a winning option to become fitter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most studies find a trend between low glycemic index diets and weight loss (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). Additionally, studies done on animal models show that high GI starches favor weight gain and visceral adiposity (the fat stored deep inside your belly and wrapped around your organs) (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;May improve cognitive function&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fast-acting carbs, which are a source of simple carbs, have been consistently associated with decreased global cognition. Conversely, complex carbs, which release glucose gradually, correlate with healthy brain aging and improved short-term and long-term memory (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;May promote cardiovascular health&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A diet that is high in fast-acting, high-glycemic carbs may increase serum triglycerides (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). Triglycerides are a type of fat that supply energy to your body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While they’re important, having too many triglycerides increases your likelihood to develop atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in your arteries (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). Blockages in your arteries may eventually lead to complications, such as stroke, heart attack, and erectile dysfunction (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slow carbs, such as leafy greens, broccoli, cucumbers, nuts, and avocados may help increase HDL levels (high-density lipoprotein, your good cholesterol). HDL plays a vital role in mobilizing cholesterol and protecting against heart disease (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;List of Slow-Digesting Carbohydrates&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Slow-release carbs include fruits and vegetables containing good amounts of fiber and are low in sugar. Dairy products, as long as they’re unflavored, can also be part of a diet focusing on slow digestible carbs. Check out the list below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Broccoli&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cauliflower&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Asparagus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Carrots&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bell peppers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cabbage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Salad greens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Eggplant&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Quinoa&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spinach&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Green beans&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seeds (chia, sunflower, pumpkin, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avocados&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strawberries&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cheese (cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Plain, unflavored yogurt&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 readability="28.650719267655"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;When to Eat Slow Digesting Carbs&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since slow-digesting carbs or complex carbs pack more nutrients and lead to longer-lasting energy, the best times to take them are during breakfast, 2-3 hours before your workout, at snack time (if you need extra energy in the afternoon), and in the evening (for those who have difficulty falling asleep).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some people would rather have black coffee for breakfast instead of a meal, but for those who eat breakfast, slow carbs are a healthy choice. Pair them with protein and fats. For example, spinach with eggs and cheese omelet!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re planning to have your workout in a few hours, it’s better to get fuel from complex carbs. You can have a bowl of quinoa with chicken and broccoli. This pre-workout meal consists not just of slow carbs, but also essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. (&lt;b&gt;Note:&lt;/b&gt; Fast-acting carbs are best consumed closer to your workout, at around 30-60 minutes, since they break down more quickly.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For people who are active, eating a snack may help beat hunger and the afternoon energy slump. Combine almonds and slices of cheese to increase your energy without experiencing a crash. Remember to avoid anything with sugar.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carbohydrates can help with sleep by facilitating the uptake of tryptophan — an amino acid that gets converted to melatonin, which promotes sleep — by the brain (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/slow-digesting-carbs/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). If you have trouble winding down or you experience low blood sugar at night, have a small snack with slow carbs, such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt with berries, or baby carrots and cucumber slices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 readability="8.1121031746032"&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Incorporating Slow-Digesting Carbs into Your Diet&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of prioritizing slow carbs, it’s important to determine how many carbs you need in a day. For people on a very low-carb &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-diet/"&gt;keto diet&lt;/a&gt;, this means consuming less than 50 grams of complex carbs daily. However, if you’re someone on a standard low-carb diet, you can eat up to 150 grams of complex carbs. Tracking your carbs can be very useful if you’re struggling to lose weight and keep your blood glucose at a healthy range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another beneficial tip is to rotate your food sources. Since foods vary in their nutrient content, it helps to eat a wide range of slow carbs. For example, broccoli and leafy greens this week, and asparagus and green beans for the next week — you get the idea. Do this along with varying your protein and fat sources as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/PKOpenGraph.jpg" class="ff-og-image-inserted"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;The idea of carbohydrate restriction seems to be an extreme dieting approach for a lot of people. After all, we’ve been taught that carbs offer important benefits, such as supplying fuel to the brain and body.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/ultimate-start-guide-ketogenic-diet/"&gt;ketogenic diet&lt;/a&gt; limits carbs to only 50 grams or less per day, to stimulate &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-is-ketosis/"&gt;ketosis&lt;/a&gt; — a metabolic state in which ketone levels rise. This way of eating can make a person ask, “Do you need carbs in your diet or are they even essential for survival?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re curious about carbs and possibly following the keto diet, this guide explores carbohydrates and their role, whether you need them, research studies on low-carb diets, opinions from other experts, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are Carbohydrates?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carbohydrates (or carbs) are a macronutrient (or macro) along with other macronutrients including protein and fat. They come in different types such as sugars, which are simple carbohydrates, and starches and fiber, which are complex carbohydrates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During digestion, sugar and starches get converted into glucose. If your body doesn’t use glucose, it can be stored as glycogen in your liver and muscles. Otherwise, high amounts of carbs — or unused carbs, such as when you eat more calories than you burn — get stored as fat (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, your body doesn’t digest fiber. Study shows that this “indigestible carbohydrate” increases the diversity and richness of the gut microbiome (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Foods that contain carbs include vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, dairy, and especially unhealthy sources like soda, packaged snacks, desserts, and other processed foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Role of Carbohydrates in Our Body&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carbs serve as fuel since carbs turn into glucose, and glucose provides energy. However, this only applies to individuals who get most of their calories from carbs — around 45% to 65% of your total calories, based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, during low carbohydrate intake, your body can leverage &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-ketones/"&gt;ketones&lt;/a&gt; as its alternate fuel instead of glucose. The fact is that you can do this on purpose — restrict carbs and induce nutritional ketosis — to reap its health and weight loss benefits (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Do We Really Need Carbohydrates in Our Diet?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cutting carbs from your diet has been considered, for many years, unsafe and unsustainable. Despite that belief, there is substantial evidence that your brain and body don’t require carbs to function and thrive. We’re going to cover some studies on low-carb and keto diets and their impact on health later in this article.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime, here are some points to support the idea that carbs aren’t necessary:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Carbs Have No Established Minimum Requirement&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carbs are the only macronutrient with no established minimum requirement (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). In fact, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine of the US National Academies of Sciences stated (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero, provided that adequate amounts of protein and fat are consumed.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Early Evidence of Stamina While In Ketosis&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the earliest documented evidence of physical stamina in ketosis was the Schwatka 1878–80 expedition. The leader of the expedition, Lt. Frederick Schwatka, wrote in his diary (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“When first thrown wholly upon a diet of reindeer meat, it seems inadequate to properly nourish the system, and there is an apparent weakness and inability to perform severe exertive fatiguing journeys. But this soon passes away in the course of two or three weeks.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Meeting Your Micronutrient Needs&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Focusing on a wide variety of whole &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/low-carb-food-list-printable/"&gt;low-carb foods&lt;/a&gt; can supply your body with the right amounts of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). These have critical functions, such as energy production, muscle contraction, and fluid and electrolyte balance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just because you’re cutting carbs, doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/vitamin-mineral-supplement-on-keto/"&gt;important micronutrients&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Glucose Synthesis from Non-Carbohydrate Sources&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are carbs necessary to produce glucose for energy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before answering this question, it’s important to note that some cells depend only on glucose to function since they lack mitochondria (whose primary function is to generate ATP). This includes your mature red blood cells and mature lens fibers (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, fast-twitch muscle fibers (Type IIX or IIB), which are involved in powerful movements like sprinting, jumping, and powerlifting, have low mitochondria. They also fatigue more quickly (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately, even in the absence of carbs, your body still produces glucose — a process called &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/gluconeogenesis/"&gt;gluconeogenesis&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fact is that gluconeogenesis is always taking place, but it increases during prolonged fasting (such as during a low-carb state) to form glucose from non-carb substrates like lactate and pyruvate, amino acids from muscle breakdown and dietary protein, and glycerol from fat metabolism (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So, does the body need carbs to make glucose? The answer is no.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yet, whether this information is known to people or not, some still choose to incorporate carbs for personal reasons:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To add variety to their diet and especially if they have high-carb “non-negotiables” or favorite foods.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They consider some carbs their comfort food because they taste highly palatable (for example, ice cream, pizza, chocolate, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the bodybuilding community, to make muscles look “fuller” since carbs retain water in muscles.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;They find that adding carbs gives them extra energy to power through intense workouts, such as those involving sudden bursts of energy like sprinting, jumping, powerlifting, and high-intensity cycling.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What Happens When We Don’t Eat Carbs?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drastically cutting carbs will result in short-term symptoms such as headache, fatigue, muscle cramps, gastrointestinal problems (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-constipation/"&gt;constipation&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/diarrhea-during-fasting/"&gt;diarrhea&lt;/a&gt;), and a distinct bad breath (also known as &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-breath/"&gt;keto breath&lt;/a&gt;) (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Collectively, these symptoms describe the &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/keto-flu/"&gt;keto flu&lt;/a&gt;. This is your body’s normal reaction when withdrawing from carbs. You’ll experience it within a few days of reducing carbs and it may last from one week to one month depending on your adaptation (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, you’re likely to notice a drop in water weight. This significant weight loss in the first week of carb restriction happens because your body uses up its glycogen (the storage form of carbs, which is bound to water) and starts tapping into fat (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your liver produces ketones from fat breakdown, which you’ll be able to measure more accurately using a ketone meter or a &lt;a href="https://shop.perfectketo.com/products/ketone-test-strips"&gt;ketone testing strip.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sticking long enough to a very low-carb diet (a.k.a. the keto diet) allows your body to get used to running on ketones for fuel. During this time, keto flu symptoms disappear. Moreover, keto dieters report noticing higher energy levels, a decrease in their appetite, sustained fat loss, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/use-ketogenic-diet-productivity-mental-performance/"&gt;improved mental clarity&lt;/a&gt;, and better cholesterol (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What Research Says About Low-Carb and Keto Diets&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many people assume that there’s not enough research on low-carb and keto. So, here’s a compilation of studies that may help you better understand the impact of this dietary approach on your health, fitness, and performance:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Type 2 Diabetes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While type 2 diabetes is typically managed using a low-fat diet and antidiabetic drugs (which promote weight gain), a study involving 238 participants showed impressive results. After 10 weeks of an individualized program that included nutritional ketosis, participants had better blood glucose control, weight loss, and were able to reduce their medication use (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Obesity&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a one year-controlled trial, 63 obese men and women were assigned to a low-carb, high-protein, high-fat diet or a typical low-calorie, high-carb, and low-fat diet. Note that these subjects weren’t pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications that might affect their weight. Results within the first 6 months demonstrated that a low-carb diet produced greater weight loss, at about four percent (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Cardiovascular Disease Risk&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 2020 meta analysis assessed the relationship between low-carb diets and cardiovascular disease risk. Data were collected from 12 randomized trials. In conclusion, following a low-carb diet was greatly associated with reduced weight, lowered diastolic blood pressure, plasma triglycerides, and fasting blood sugar levels. Furthermore, there was an increase in HDL “good cholesterol” levels (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Exercise Endurance&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Five endurance-trained male cyclists had volunteered for this study. Results showed that despite a lower muscle glycogen content at the onset of moderate intensity exercise, they felt less tired on a high-fat diet. The results suggest that delayed fatigue may be related to the body’s increased ability to burn fat for fuel (or fat oxidation) (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on the Preservation of Muscle Mass&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While it’s often claimed that very low-carb diets lead to a significant loss of muscle mass, Volek and his team studied the impact of a 6-week very low-carb diet (VLCARB) in healthy men. From their usual diet, they switched to a diet comprising only 8% carbohydrates. They avoided or reduced their intake of fruits and fruit juices, most dairy products, bread, cereals, and desserts. At the same time, they focused on eating beef, chicken, fish, oils, eggs, protein powder, and low-carb diet drinks. Results showed a significant reduction in their body fat while lean body mass significantly increased (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related article:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/building-muscle-on-keto/"&gt;Building Muscle on Keto: The Ultimate Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Brain Health&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ketones produced in a very low-carb diet help to improve the energy crisis that’s present in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, in which brain glucose metabolism is reduced. Furthermore, clinical studies show that ketone bodies are neuroprotective and that cognitive benefits have been noted in patients with Alzheimer’s or who are at risk of the disease (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related article:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/ketones-for-brain/"&gt;Ketones for Brain Fuel and Metabolism&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Research on Weight Loss Maintenance&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 2012 randomized clinical trial found that participants on a very low-carb diet (10% from carbohydrates, 60% from fat, and 30% from protein) had the highest resting metabolism. In contrast, those who followed a low-fat diet had the lowest resting metabolism (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;This means that a very low-carb diet allows you to keep your weight off after losing it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Other Experts’ Opinions About Dietary Carbohydrates&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some experts go against low-carb or do not recommend it at all for various reasons such as saturated fat (since fat becomes your alternative fuel instead of carbs) being bad for the heart. With regards to this belief, there’s no evidence that reducing saturated fat reduces cardiovascular disease incidence. Furthermore, replacing fat with a diet high in carbs may even increase one’s risk of death (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/do-you-need-carbs-to-thrive/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another common belief among non-low-carb experts is that nutritional ketosis impairs one’s energy and exercise performance. Following the keto diet properly, such as ensuring an adequate intake of electrolytes and fat, and allowing for keto-adaptation to take place, will improve the body’s energy needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;So, Can We Survive Without Carbs?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does your body need carbs to gain energy, synthesize glucose for tissues that rely only on this fuel, meet your micronutrient needs, and preserve muscle mass? No, we don’t need carbs to live and function at our best.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, limiting carbs while consuming adequate amounts of protein and fat has many advantages, from blood sugar control to weight loss maintenance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, at the end of the day, what you eat is a personal choice. Despite the available research on low-carb and keto diets, some people still find reducing carbs too restrictive. This is where long-term adherence becomes challenging — but not impossible!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, if you’re thinking of going keto, it’s important to keep in mind that keto-adaptation (or the body’s ability to utilize fat efficiently as its primary fuel) takes time.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Is Plant-Based Meat Healthy?</title>
<link>https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false" >https://perfectketo.com/?p=608162</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Regardless of the diet you’re on, to be healthy and well you need to meet your nutritional needs by consuming mostly whole foods. This refers to foods that retain their natural state or undergo only minimal processing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, whether you’re eating plant-based or meat-based, the key is to stick with real foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plant-based meat (a.k.a. vegan meat or meatless meat) has become significantly more popular in the past few years — although it has originated in the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some people switch from traditional burger patties, sausages, and other deli meats to plant meat for a variety of personal reasons. For example, they believe it helps offset climate change, reduce their saturated fat intake, or eat “cleaner.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But does it promote optimal health? This article answers the question, “What is plant-based meat?” and examines its ingredients, taste, quality in comparison to animal meat, and its pros and cons.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are Plant-Based Meats?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plant-based meats are basically meat alternatives made by combining different plant sources such as soybeans, potatoes, and canola, as well as other ingredients. This is to make them look, feel, and taste like real meat and achieve a macronutrient profile that’s comparable to popular processed meat products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll find plant-based versions of anything, from ground meat to burger patties to sausages to chicken nuggets. Vegan meats are not just aimed at vegans and vegetarians, but also at omnivores who may be curious to try these cheaper and more convenient meat-free options.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While eating vegan substitutes like Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger — two of the most popular meat replacement brands today — allows you to skip ready-to-eat meats, the fact is that these products are still considered highly processed or ultra-processed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, plant-based meats are not exactly the best foods for your health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are Plant-Based Meats Made Of?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some of the ingredients in plant meat products are either linked to health problems or have untested health effects. These include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-610675 size-full" src="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of.jpg" alt="What are Plant-Based Meats Made Of?" width="1200" height="2376" srcset="https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of.jpg 1200w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of-455x900.jpg 455w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of-517x1024.jpg 517w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of-768x1521.jpg 768w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of-776x1536.jpg 776w, https://perfectketo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/What-are-Plant-Based-Meats-Made-Of-1034x2048.jpg 1034w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;1. Genetically modified (GM) crops like soybeans, corn, canola, and beets&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While GM crops withstand herbicides without causing harm to the soybean plant itself, there is a concern that genetically modified crops may cause food allergies (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;2. Whole grains like quinoa and barley&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whole grains contain antinutrients such as phytic acid, saponins, and oxalates. Antinutrients are substances that hinder the absorption of nutrients. Consuming them frequently and in large amounts could potentially lead to nutrient loss, especially in people who are at risk of them (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).This includes pregnant women, children, adolescents, and those who are obese, and critically ill (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;3. Sunflower oil&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/sunflower-oil/"&gt;Sunflower oil&lt;/a&gt; is intended to replace animal fat in plant-based patties and nuggets, and raise the fat content of these foods. Unfortunately, sunflower oil (and other vegetable oils like canola oil and corn oil) has a high linoleic acid content (omega-6). Too much omega-6 in your diet causes inflammation, raising your risk of being overweight or obese (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;4. Cultured dextrose&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cultured dextrose has been advertised as a more natural way of sweetening and preserving processed foods. It’s made by combining glucose, a simple sugar, with the bacteria Propionibacterium freudenreichii. It may increase your blood sugar levels and cause food intolerance symptoms like headache, fatigue, and joint pain (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;5. Carrageenan&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an additive that improves the texture of plant-based meats and holds their shape together. There’s evidence showing that carrageenan can cause gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating and inflammation. It’s also linked to ulcerative colitis and intestinal cancer (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;6. Flours and starches that create structure in vegan meat&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Potato starch and yellow corn flour are commonly used as gluten-free alternatives in plant meats. They’re derived from potatoes and corn, respectively. In addition to being genetically modified crops, they contain high amounts of carbohydrates. These are not exactly the kind of ingredients you’ll want in a product when you’re on a &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/ultimate-start-guide-ketogenic-diet/"&gt;ketogenic diet&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just because it’s meatless, doesn’t mean it’s good for your body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plant-based meats fall under the category of ultra-processed foods (just like instant snacks, breakfast cereals, soft drinks, and pre-prepared burgers).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NOVA food classification defines processed foods as industrial formulations which include sugar, starch, proteins, oils, colors, flavor enhancers, and other additives. In addition, they undergo extensive processing and manufacturing (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For instance, extrusion processing is used to imitate meat texture by subjecting proteins to thermal and mechanical stress. Another would be inserting soy DNA into yeast to produce leghemoglobin, a heme-containing protein that would make vegan meat “bleed” like real meat (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How Do Plant-Based Meats Taste?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While companies that sell plant-based meats claim that they taste and cook like real meat, the reality is that they’re in that strange middle ground — they taste “sort of” like the meat product they’re trying to imitate, and yet they don’t fully meet your expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, at the end of the day, everyone has their opinion on the taste of vegan meat. You may want to consider trying it yourself and see if there’s a difference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mimicking the taste of meat is a difficult process and takes trial and error. To achieve the right taste, food companies need to understand and use the Maillard reaction (which seared steaks and roast chicken, among many other foods undergo) (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;This is a “browning reaction” that happens when amino acids and sugar molecules react to form a darker color, along with a kind of flavor and aroma that make food delicious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Is Plant Based-Meat Healthier Than Animal Meat?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Focusing on whole foods — foods that do not have added starches, flavor enhancers, and coloring — helps to improve your health and avoid disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, plant-based meat is highly processed and inferior to animal meat, including vegetables and fruits in their natural forms. Animal meat is just animal meat, while even the “healthiest” plant-based meat has a long ingredient list, some of which you may not understand or let alone pronounce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eating unprocessed foods lets you maximize your vitamin and mineral intake to support essential bodily functions, from energy production to tissue repair. This is also why we encourage a &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/clean-keto-diet/"&gt;clean keto&lt;/a&gt; approach while on a keto diet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you should know about animal-based foods and saturated fat: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contrary to popular belief, saturated fat (found mainly in animal foods) does not contribute to the development of coronary artery plaque. Rather, what clogs your arteries is a combination of insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, which are caused by too much omega-6 and refined carbohydrates in your diet (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re steering away from animal meats because of saturated fat, perhaps it’s time to reassess this belief.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s an article that discusses &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/saturated-fat/"&gt;saturated fat&lt;/a&gt; in detail with a link to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology’s guidelines stating that unprocessed red meat and whole fat dairy are not linked to heart disease (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-plant-based-meat-healthy/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are the Advantages of Plant-Based Meats?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are no advantages to plant-based meats when it comes to long-term health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, like other processed foods such as packaged snacks, energy drinks, and frozen meals, they may save time and reduce meal prep. This allows you to meet your macros (whether or not you’re on keto) and stay plant-based if this is your preferred way of eating.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, if you’re curious to try them, definitely it a go. Just don’t rely on plant-based meats to meet your regular nutritional requirements. Always prioritize nourishing, natural whole foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are the Disadvantages of Plant-Based Meats?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dangers of plant-based meats — their excess consumption, in particular — include possible nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, inflammation, weight gain, heart disease, and other health risks associated with ultra-processed foods.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Limiting highly processed foods, including deli meats and not just plant meats, is one of the things you can do to achieve optimal health that’s supported by research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How to Choose a Healthier Plant-Based Meat Option&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Processed foods like plant-based meat can still be a part of your diet as long as whole foods are your primary focus. But, when it comes to choosing plant-based meat, it’s still important to make sure that you’re not getting lots of artificial stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It pays to do more than checking health claims on the front of a plant meat packaging. Common examples of these health claims include “gluten-free,” “non-GMO,” and “enriched.” As a best practice, carefully inspect every ingredient on the list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/how-to-read-food-labels-on-keto/"&gt;Reading food labels&lt;/a&gt; allows you to better understand what you’re eating. They provide not just the number of calories and macros per serving, but also the product ingredients used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A few helpful rules include checking for the presence of additives, vegetable oils like canola and sunflower oil, sugars, food colors, and other ingredients you can’t pronounce. The fewer and simpler the ingredients, the better.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you’re feeling adventurous, you may consider making your own plant-based meat at home. That way, you have more control over the ingredients and obviously avoid the ones you know can trigger negative reactions in your body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Bottom Line&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Highly processed plant-based meat can’t compare with real vegetables, fruits, and animal flesh which are packed with quality nutrients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the topic of helping the environment, eating plant-based meat is not necessarily better. While companies claim to reduce footprint, they may not always be transparent about production and how it actually affects the environment. In contrast, regenerative agriculture, which includes practices like minimizing tilling and avoiding fertilizers, can help solve climate change and improve soil health and crop yields.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, whole foods as the focal point of your diet can boost your health in many ways and lower disease risk. However, it’s also vital to avoid an all-or-nothing or perfectionist mindset. At times when meal prepping is impossible, have something ready to eat that’s still in alignment with your dietary preference.&lt;/p&gt;

<title>What Are Trans Fats and How Do They Affect Your Health?</title>
<link>https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/</link>
<guid isPermaLink="false" >https://perfectketo.com/?p=607573</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;You’ve probably heard that trans fats are a major no-no in your foods. For years, we’ve been told to cut back or eliminate these fats from our diets.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But have you ever wondered why trans fats are considered unhealthy? Especially on a keto diet, your goal is to get most of your calories from dietary fats. So, are trans fats really a problem?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This article shows you what trans fats are, foods that contain them, and why they’re a big deal for your health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What are Trans Fats?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trans fats are created by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils, making them more solid at room temperature — and therefore more convenient for use in processed foods. This addition of hydrogen creates “partially hydrogenated” oils, the primary source of trans fats in the American diet. While most trans fats are created artificially, some do occur in nature. Beef, lamb, and dairy products all contain some trans fats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like any supervillain, there’s a backstory behind the creation of artificial trans fats. Back in 1901, German chemist Wilhelm Normann began experimenting with adding hydrogen to liquid oils (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This addition of hydrogen made liquid fats semi-solid at room temperature — which, in turn, made them far more advantageous for use in many commercially produced foods. Partially hydrogenated oils had a longer shelf life and provided structural support to foods like ice cream, margarine, and pastry dough. The food industry saw this as a major breakthrough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the course of the 20th century, trans fats became a common addition to lots of food products. What people didn’t realize, however, was that messing with Mother Nature sometimes has consequences. It wasn’t until the 1950s that the first concerns about artificially created trans fats arose. During the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st, scientific evidence mounted to show that trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils were probably doing more harm than good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How Trans Fats Affect Your Health&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, the hype around a certain ingredient or nutrient is more fanfare than science. But in the case of artificially created trans fats, the research is clear: this type of fat harms your health. Even though trans fats are unsaturated fats (as opposed to &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/saturated-fat/"&gt;saturated fats&lt;/a&gt;, which also may come with health risks) they’re not considered a healthy fat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s how consuming too much trans fats affects you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Trans Fats and Blood Vessels&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the biggest concerns around trans fats is their impact on blood vessels, since well-functioning blood vessels are essential for heart and brain health.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trans fats have been shown to raise bad low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while decreasing good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;When your blood vessels become clogged with LDL cholesterol, they harden and weaken. This results in an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Trans Fats and Inflammation&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/ketosis-for-reduced-inflammation/"&gt;Inflammation&lt;/a&gt; leads to adverse health outcomes, from autoimmune disorders to heart disease (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;For obvious reasons, most of us would like to keep our bodies free of this chronic “high-alert” state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eliminating trans fats is an important part of an anti-inflammatory dietary strategy, since multiple studies have found a connection between eating artificial trans fats and overall inflammation (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Trans Fats and Diabetes&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More research is needed to uncover the exact relationship between trans fats and type 2 diabetes, but here’s what the current research says:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, one large longitudinal study of over 84,000 women found that those who consumed lower amounts of trans fats were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;However, note that trans fat consumption was one of only several factors in their diet&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other similar studies have had murkier results. A 2006 review pointed out that inconsistencies and methodological problems in most studies on trans fats and diabetes made it difficult (if not impossible) to draw firm conclusions about a connection between the two (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Still, since trans fats increase a person’s risk of heart disease — especially in those with diabetes. So, despite limited evidence, it’s best to stay away from hydrogenated oils.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Trans Fats and Cancer&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since trans fats drive inflammation (and since they appear in processed, weight gain-promoting foods like breakfast cereals, potato chips, doughnuts and ice cream) — it’s no surprise that they’ve been linked to cancer (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A 2020 systematic review explored the effects of trans fatty acids on 19 different types of cancer. The researchers found a relationship between eating trans fats and the risk of prostate and colorectal cancer (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another review from 2021 found that higher intakes of industrial trans fats led to elevated risk of breast cancer (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp;Future research may shed more light on the cancer-trans fat link, but for now, it’s safe to say that avoiding trans fats is probably smart for preventing the “big C.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Which Foods Contain Trans Fats?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the dangers of consuming trans fats became more and more apparent, public health authorities decided to take action to eliminate them in the U.S. food supply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2015, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that artificially created trans fats were unsafe to eat. They gave food manufacturers a generous three years to take them out of their products, with a deadline of June 2018. However, for food products produced prior to this date, the FDA extended the deadline to January 2020 (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That said, some commercially available foods may still contain trans fats, since it could take years for foods produced prior to 2020 to cycle completely out of the American food system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anything that contains partially hydrogenated oils contains trans fats. Common culprits include buttered microwave popcorn, pastries and baked goods, pizza dough, coffee creamers, and fried foods like french fries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interestingly, all trans fats aren’t created in a lab. Some occur naturally as well. When ruminant animals like cows, sheep, and goats eat grass, the bacteria in their stomachs produce trans fats. For this reason, dairy products from these animals contain about 2-7% trans fats, and meats like beef have about 1% trans fat (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;* &lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;). However, research on natural trans fats indicates that, when consumed in moderate amounts, they don’t come with the same health risks as artificial trans fats (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;How Much Trans Fat Can I Consume Per Day?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While it’s best to keep trans fats out of our diets, especially since the FDA no longer considers them generally safe for consumption, consuming a tiny bit of trans fat won’t significantly affect your health. Less than 2 grams of trans fats per day is considered safe (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Furthermore, the American Heart Association suggests reducing your intake of foods with partially hydrogenated &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/is-vegetable-oil-bad-for-you/"&gt;vegetable oils&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/what-are-trans-fats/#references"&gt;*&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;How to Limit Daily Trans Fat Consumption&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since most trans fats are gradually making their way out of our food system, there’s not as much need for vigilance around them as there once was. Still, it’s always smart to check ingredient lists for those tell-tale partially hydrogenated oils. Some may still lurk in packaged foods like popcorn, doughnuts, or potato chips.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if a nutrition facts label lists trans fat grams as zero, the presence of partially hydrogenated oils tells a different story. If a food contains these oils, it means trans fats exist in small amounts — and, as explained above, small amounts matter. The only way to make sure a food is trans fat free is to &lt;a href="https://perfectketo.com/how-to-read-food-labels-on-keto/"&gt;read food labels&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to limiting potential trans fat in your grocery shopping, consider your choices when dining out. Avoiding fried, processed, and fast foods at restaurants is another way to ensure you’re not unintentionally consuming trans fats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;The Bottom Line&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although artificially created trans fats have been banned from the U.S. food supply as of 2018, it’s possible they may still linger in some processed foods. The best way to spot hidden trans fats is to be a diligent label reader, checking for hydrogenated oils in ingredient lists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As for the trans fats that naturally occur in animal products, there’s no need to worry, since research shows they aren’t harmful. To minimize trans fat consumption (and to maintain good health in general), stick to a diet of minimally processed, whole foods.&lt;/p&gt;
