There are several alcoholic drinks with a high carbohydrate content, as there are several with low or even no carbohydrates (such as some spirits). In this article we will see how it is possible to enjoy evenings in the company of friends without having to give up a few drinks and without feeling guilty.
As we know, the classic wheat flour contains too many carbohydrates which are metabolized and converted into glucose very quickly. The ideal would be to find one or more flours with low amounts of sugar and possibly an average amount of fat and fiber. The latter in fact help to decrease the glycemic impact of a food as they are not digested directly in the stomach.
The ketogenic diet provides for the minimization of carbohydrates from the diet, including sugar, but this does not necessarily mean giving up sweetness in one's recipes. In fact, there are different types of natural sweeteners which are not metabolized in the same way as traditional sugar and therefore can be taken in the ketogenic diet, among which we find: Erythritol, Stevia, Xylitol, Dextrose, Sucralose.
Nuts are a favorite snack to consume on the ketogenic diet. They are an excellent source of fats, vitamin E and minerals such as phosphorus, selenium and magnesium. However, not all nuts are ideal in the ketogenic diet if not for the high carbohydrates, for the anti-nutritional properties and the origin.
