When you’re doing keto, finding keto snacks that are low in carbs and high in protein and good fats can sometimes feel like navigating a minefield. The ketogenic diet (or keto diet for short) is a diet that is low in carbs but high in fats and proteins. The keto diet involves drastically reducing your carb intake and replacing them with fat. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. The body becomes super-efficient at burning fat for energy during ketosis, reducing blood sugar and insulin levels.

Many people think you can’t snack when you’re dieting, but that’s just not true. As long as you ensure that you replace any carb-laden snacks with healthy low-carb snacks that control your appetite, there’s no reason to stop snacking. When you limit carbs, you restrict the release of the hormone insulin from your pancreas, which allows glucose to enter the body’s cells to provide energy.

Whether you’re keto or not, consider adding macadamia products to your diet when planning your next meal plan. Nuts are often overlooked when planning a new diet, but our premium macadamia products are compatible with most diets.
