how to get more fiber on keto
Raspberry Chia Seed PuddingIf you’re looking for an easy and gluten-free keto recipe that works as a dessert or breakfast dish, try this. You can definitely
make low-carb chia pudding with almond milk but for this recipe, you’re going to use coconut milk for a richer, creamier pudding! On a cold winter morning, is there anything more satisfying than wrapping your hands around a bowl of fresh oatmeal, sweetened and flavored with your favorite spices? It is a hearty meal that can leave you feeling satisfied for hours, but you should know the nutritional facts about oatmeal before you indulge while on a keto diet. The short answer to the question of whether oatmeal is keto is that traditional oatmeal has too many carbohydrates to be considered an option for the keto diet. Especially if made with milk and sweeteners, oatmeal, like
other foods made with grains, will not allow you to stay in ketosis. Fortunately, there are some substitutions you can make to still enjoy a warm bowl of “oatmeal” at home. Is Oatmeal Keto-Friendly? The bad news is that your favorite morning oatmeal might need to be mercilessly cut from your diet if you plan to stay in ketosis long-term. While oatmeal still packs a nutritional punch for your diet without adding the sugar of normal breakfast cereals, it is still too heavy in carbohydrates and too low on fiber to make it into your keto diet. In one cup of oatmeal (regular cereal oats and unenriched), you will find a whopping 28 grams of carbohydrates. [1] Only four grams of that is allocated to dietary fiber, making it a challenge when it comes to fitting oatmeal into your macros for the day. At 24 grams of net carbs, most people on a keto diet will have exhausted just about all of their carbs for the day on one bowl of oatmeal. [2]This carb count increases further when you make your oatmeal with traditional milk rather than water.
