Best Low Carb snacks

There are many benefits to low-carb diets including:

-Decrease risk of cardiovascular disease
-Improvement of blood markers including (Lower Tgs, Higher HDL and lower CRP)
-Decreased inflammation
-Visceral fat loss
-Reduction in blood pressure
-Improved cognitive finction

I know that it can be difficult to find snacks that are low carb friendly so below is a list of my favorite healthy low carb snacks.

1. Macadamia nuts: 5 net grams of carbs per 100 grams and the healthiest of all the nuts.

2. Coconut: You can eat coconut raw or roasted. Both healthy choices with only 6g carbs per 100g.

3. Raw Celery: 1g of net carbs per 100g. Add a high fat healthy home made dip to help with the absorption of the fat soluble nutrients,

4. Walnuts/Pecans/Almonds: These are all the second choice of nuts. They are much cheaper than Macadamia but still have low amounts of carbs.

5. Sunflower seeds:These are a bit higher in carbs 9g of carbs/100g. But, if you buy them in a shell you will eat much less.

6. Healthy Cheese: Made with non pasteurized milk, no preservatives, color or other chemicals. Some cheese is pro-inflammatory, but in moderation makes for a great snack.

7. Boiled eggs: Best source of protein, with only 1.1g of net carbs per 100g.

**Net carbs on a low carb diet are calculated as total carbs-fiber as we are looking at insulin spiking carbs only.
