Why these 3 items should be on your KETO grocery list!!

Do you every stop to ask yourself why?I feel like there are so many obscure products associated with the ketogenic diet that but no one really knows why they should actually use them.. So many people put Ghee butter in their coffee even people who are not necessarily following a Ketogenic diet, but do they even know why or what it even is? Here is a quick breakdown of 3 very popular KETO items and WHY they should be on your Grocery List.

MCT OIL

Ok lets get the confusing stuff out of the way:

“MCTs” are medium-chain triglycerides, a form of saturated fatty acid that has numerous health benefits, ranging from improved cognitive function to better weight management.
Medium-chain fats are digested easily and sent directly to your liver, where they have a thermogenic effect and the ability to positively alter your metabolism.
MCTs are absorbed more easily than other fats since there’s less work for the body to do breaking apart carbon bonds. MCTs are smaller, so they can permeate our cell membranes more easily and don’t require that we use special enzymes in order for our bodies to utilize them.

Ok now that all that scientific mumo jumbo talk is over , let me give you the Cliff notes:

• MCT Oil helps you to return to ketosis faster after a cheat meal
• MCT Oil Curbs your appetite
• It's Odorless and Tasteless so you can easily add good fats to any dish!
• Add some to your water (with some lemon) before a workout for a quick burst of energy
• You have reached the end of the day and maxed out on protein and Carbs, a quick spoonful of MCT oil will help you hit that fat target

This is the one I currently use. Can be purchased on Amazon

Himalayan Pink Salt

When we are on a low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet we have lower insulin levels and therefore our kidneys excrete more sodium which can lead to a lower sodium/potassium ratio and a greater need for sodium in the diet.
On a low-carb diet you should look to get an additional 3-5 grams of sodium from natural foods and through the use of a pink salt like Himalayan sea salt.  1 tsp of pink salt is equivalent to 2 grams of sodium.  
Ok you get it, you need salt, but why the more expensive Himalayan Pink Salt?? Regular Table salt is depleted of its natural minerals and likely contains iodine.
Pink salt is a natural substance that is harvested from the Himalayan Mountains and is a great alternative to your refined table-salt

• Contains 84 essential minerals required by the human body 
  
• Excellent source of magnesium a mineral in which most individuals are deficient
  
• Helps regulate blood sugar levels
  
• Helps regulate the bodies natural sleep cycle
  

This is the brand that I currently have in my pantry

Ghee Butter

The benefits of Ghee Butter on the ketogenic diet 
"Ghee" comes from the Sanskrit word meaning "sprinkled," and it basically means that the milk fat is rendered from the butter to separate the milk solids and water. It’s made by melting butter and skimming the fat off of the top. You’ll be left with a yellow liquid when it’s hot and a creamy looking solid one when the ghee cools down.  

• Lactose Friendly: Since it’s made from the milk solids, the impurities have been removed, so people who are lactose intolerant usually have no problems consuming ghee. However, be sure to consult with your physician before trying it.
• Rich in essential vitamins vital to the KETO diet: Ghee is rich in healthy fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. These vitamins are important for promoting bone and brain health, and for boosting the immune system.
• Lowers Cholesterol
• Weightloss : When the ghee is derived from grass-fed cows, the butter contains cancer-fighting fatty acid conjugated linolenic acid (CLA), which aids in weight loss.
• Ghee has 10% more medium-chain fatty acids than butter and more fat, vitamins, & CLA content. 
• Rich Nutty Flavor! Higher smoke point than butter, so its easier to use in your pan fried dishes
• Curbs Appetite, an excellent addition to your morning keto coffee

This is the brand currently in my pantry!

There you have it, now they are no longer obscure names on your grocery list, you know what they are and why you should make them part of your Ketogenic diet plan!
