Many people who want to reduce the weight in a few weeks love to go for a Keto diet everyone loves to take up. As it not only allows you to have your favorite dishes and foods but also have you enjoying your diet and an enjoyable diet is a diet worth taking up! A keto diet is something in which fats and proteins are the only things allowed to be consumed and not anything else. Now following a Keto diet doesn’t mean only 3 fats and protein filled meals a day, but you can also attack your hunger pangs or midday cravings by some Keto snacks! Here are few that can save your day (and your diet) too –
Dark Chocolate
How wonderful to be in a world where chocolate is a part of your diet!! Dark chocolate when chosen wisely with the right proportions involved in it makes for a great keto snack. Make sure it’s a low carb sweetener and has at least 80% amount of cocoa or even higher. You can even make dark chocolate at the convenience of your home in case you want to be sure of the ingredients and proportions. Just mix cocoa powder with coconut oil and your choice of low carb sweetener.
High Fat Cheese
Ah, cheese! Who wouldn’t love to hog on cheese and still not be cheating on their diet? High fat cheese is a good snack for a keto diet. It’s hard cheese you should be looking for, but they aren’t really that good a choice when it comes to the scenario of increasing fat and decreasing protein. The best cheese in this situation would be cream cheese and mascarpone cheese. They are high in fat and low on protein. Cheese can be combined with anything, or you can even add it to your other keto snacks such as nuts or pepperoni or pork rinds.
Sardine
Canned sardines actually make for a very healthy keto snack, according to few researchers, it’s even an ideal one. They are absolutely zero carbs and contain a healthy amount of fat and other nutrients. If you need extra fat, you can buy those canned sardines that come with olive oil.
Peanut Butter
Do you recall all those times you’ve sneaked into the kitchen and treated yourselves to a spoon of peanut butter? Peanut butter is something you don’t need to combine with anything but can rather have it alone. Peanut butter basically curbs carb cravings and also meets your protein need and also contains a high amount of fat. But Peanut butter containing sugar isn’t the right choice for a Keto Snack, so take care while choosing one. The best choice would be the one which has only salt and peanuts.
Seeds
Flaxseeds and chia seeds are a healthy choice for a keto snack. No one likes to have them bland so you can combine them with nut butter or even any of your protein smoothies. They add fiber, fat and extra protein to your body.
Nut butter and High-fat nuts
Nuts can be munched on without any accompaniment. But not all nuts are high on fat. Some nuts are actually high on carbs such as pistachios and cashews. So the wise thing would be to keep the portions of your snack small. And be wise in choosing your nuts because it’s important not to have the ones that contain polyunsaturated oils or added carbs or vegetable oils.
