So today let's talk about the worst keto friendly low carb foods. Now when we talk about keto friendly, we're really talking about low carb but just because something is low-carb doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy.

Soy Protein

First one is soy protein isolate it's one of the worst proteins very low fat high concentrated protein very damaging to the liver. It's going to be GMO so it's going to have glyphosate. But I've had quite a few people that after consuming this type of protein with a lot of gallbladder and liver problems. So, it's not a high-quality protein it's very cheap. It's in a lot of keto friendly foods it's in a lot of those breakfast bars and protein bars and even in certain diets use this as their protein mixture.

Casein Protein

Then we have casein this is milk protein so first of all you're rarely if ever going to find a grass-fed version of casein. It's usually from cows that consume grains that were GMO. So, on the insulin index which are non-carbohydrate type foods like protein for example this would be a lot higher because when you have a low-fat protein. It can spike insulin a lot more.

Malta Tall

Next thing is Malta tall this is a sugar alcohol that seems to create the most digestive problems. You see it in a lot of sugar free candy, sugar free chocolate, especially for diabetics. But it's pretty high on the glycemic index it's like 50 something.

Aspartame

Next thing this aspartame you know about that that interferes with your gut flora. There's been some studies that show that it can increase insulin resistance even though it's sugar-free processed genes. If you would get at certain restaurants quite a few of the cheeses that you see on the aisle of the grocery store or processed not healthy they come from milk and cows that are not going to be grass-fed. You have to go to a healthy store to get high quality cheese and the stuff that I like is the grass-fed especially cheese.

Processed Meats

Next seeing is the processed meats now realize that pretty much all meats are processed. But I'm talking about the ones that you'd get at the grocery store which are common commercial processed meats like the lunch meats, bacon, the deli meats, the sausage, from animals that are factory farmed a lot of preservatives nitrates. You want to do organic meats, without hormones grass fed, rancid, nuts.

Let's say for example you have some peanuts or walnuts have been sitting in your cabinet for a very long time and when you consume them, they're very rancid not very healthy. Because the omega-6 fatty acids which are very unstable oxidized and you don't want to consume those.

Margarine

Next thing is margarine well it's keto friendly it's low carb right when they did studies and epilepsy for children one of the fats that they used was margarine. It induces ketosis but it's not very healthy and just to point out the benefit of lowering your carbs is huge. Because it's going to lower insulin and most people have high insulin. But why not take it to the next level and use ingredients that are quality iceberg, lettuce. I think about that is just basically it's empty there's not much nutrition 1/2 of a cup of kale equals 10 cups of iceberg lettuce. So, you'd have to consume a tremendous amount of it to get anything at all.

If you're going to a fast-food restaurant and you're ordering the meat without the bun for example well when you consume that meat or the chicken it is low carb it's protein but those animals are fed a lot of GMO grains. So, you're not getting the quality pork rinds now make sure you don't get the version that has the msg if you can get pork rinds without a mystery it's a lot better but monosodium glutamate has the ability to spike insulin by 300% then we have vegetable oils.

Which are not really vegetable oils?

Source

They're seed oils an average person will consume six and a half liters of cooking oil per person every single year that's a lot of GMO oils. I'm talking about soy oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, canola, their GMO very inflammatory there's some links to insulin resistance. We're consuming tremendous amounts versus in the past we consume a lot more saturated fats now we switch to unsaturated fats. They're not healthier but they're keto friendly.

Corn Fiber

Then we have corn fiber it could be non-GMO. I don't know but I have found that it does create a lot of bloating in people. So, no one knows the quality and ingredients within it.

Farm-raised Fish

Then we have farm-raised fish in factory from meats the main thing is what they feed these animals? They're feeding them GMO grains unfortunately and you're going to see low fat dairy as being in GML but of course it's not going to be on the label so it's not non-GMO.

Source

So, there's probably going to be some glyphosate which is herbicide in there now the thing is that on the insulin index the lower fat you go with the protein the higher.You spike insulin so you don't want to do the low fat dairy you don't want to do the egg whites you want to do the whole egg you want to do dairy with the whole milk just make sure it's quality.
