The ketogenic diet, more commonly known as ‘keto’, has gained immense traction over the past couple of years and has improved the health and wellbeing of many of its followers. Improved blood sugar levels, weight loss, mental clarity and reduction of pain and inflammation are just a few key benefits of the keto diet.
So, what is the keto diet?
The keto diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that switches your body into a state of ketosis. In this state, your body burns fat for fuel rather than carbohydrates. To achieve ketosis, one needs to limit their carbohydrate intake to approximately 20 to 50 grams each day.
Is protein powder keto friendly?
Both Inline’s Lean Whey and Plant Power Protein Powders are keto friendly. With less than 3 grams of carbohydrate per serving they perfectly complement the ketogenic diet.
How can protein powder help me with keto?
Most breakfast foods including cereal, toast and porridge are extremely high in carbohydrates and won’t allow your body to shift into a state of ketosis. A protein shake made with Inline protein powder is a great keto alternative to start your day. It can be difficult to resist temptation when restricting food groups too, but with between 18 and 25 grams of protein per serving, Inline’s Protein Powders will keep you feeling satiated all morning. With less hunger and cravings, you can focus your energy towards enjoying all the amazing benefits of the keto diet!
Note: Always keep in mind that protein powders are a supplement, so ensure that you are consuming other sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals too. Always consult with your medical professional before taking supplements or embarking on a ketogenic diet.
