Options to Buy Low-Carb Bread  

Of course, you might also want to buy low-carb bread. It can be nice to have options in a pinch. But, buyer beware: even “healthy” low-carb commercial bread can have harmful ingredients. Be choosey and avoid bread that contains:

1. Wheat or grain flours (whole grain and refined). These are high in carbs (much too high to stay in the Keto Zone) and are not tolerated well by many people.
2. Partially hydrogenated oils. These processed oils are associated with inflammation, many chronic health issues, and unhealthy cholesterol levels. What’s more, animal studies indicated that processed hydrogenated oils are detrimental to our healthy gut bacteria (1).
3. Soybean Oil. Soybean oil is another processed, cheap, concentrated form of omega-6 fatty acids. They compete with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats in your body and promote inflammation throughout. They are linked to metabolic health issues (2).
4. Preservatives. Homemade foods are generally made without harmful, chemical preservatives. Commercial foods, on the other hand, are often loaded with them. Avoid buying foods with Sodium Propionate (an antifungal drug that can also work as an antibiotic (3)) and Sodium Metabisulfite (has a long history of possibly causing breathing reactions and irritated tissues when handled (4)). Unfortunately, these preservatives are found within many “health” foods.

Bottom Line

 You’ll never have to search for a low-carb bread recipe again! Try any, or all 5 of our Keto Zone® readers’ favorites. You’re sure to find your new go-to low-carb bread.

Why Pasta Isn’t Keto Zone-Friendly

As tasty and classic as pasta is, one serving usually contains up to 38 grams of carbohydrates, which is well over your daily limit on Keto Zone. And its other macronutrients aren’t looking too good either with 1 gram of fat and 7 grams of protein. (1)  However, with substitutes like vegetables and almond flour, there are ways to turn those macros around.

1. Spaghetti Squash

If you’re looking for the closest alternative to pasta, spaghetti squash is your go-to. Once cooked and halved, you can scrape out the insides with a fork and it very closely resembles the soft, mild taste and color of traditional spaghetti noodles. On top of that, 100 grams contains only 5.1 net carbohydrates, 0.3 grams of fat, and 0.7 grams of protein, making it a low-carb dream. (2)

You can try it out for yourself with this amazing Keto Zone Spaghetti and Meat Sauce recipe.

2. Zoodles

Zoodles are spiralized zucchinis, and they easily taste like whichever sauce you pair them with. This means they’re the perfect pasta solution without any of the extra carbs. 100 grams has 2.5 grams net carbohydrates, 0.6 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat, along with plenty of extra common vegetable nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. (3)

And you don’t have to always use zucchinis. You can pop virtually any low-carb veggie in the spiralizer to create keto-friendly pasta. Give Keto Pad Thai With Zucchini Noodles or Keto Zone Zucchini Italian Salad a go!

3. Cabbage Noodles

Few people think of cabbage as a pasta substitute, but in reality, cabbage has been used as pasta since Italian cabbage roll recipes came around. You can slice them into noodles or turn them into a slaw. Either way, 100 grams include 3.3 grams of carbs, 0 grams of fat, and 1.3 grams of protein. To cook, drop the sliced cabbage in boiling water for 2 minutes or until tender, or you can slice it into sheets to bake in lasagna. (If you’re putting them in lasagna, boil for only 30 seconds.)

4. Shirataki Noodles

Also known as miracle or konjac noodles, shirataki noodles are made from water and glucomannan, which is fiber from the konjac root. The fiber is soluble, which means it keeps you full for longer and feeds the good bacteria in your gut, reducing inflammation and charging your immune system. (4,5) As the real kickers though, these noodles are both carb and calorie-free and take mere minutes to cook up. Just rinse under hot water and heat, then top with your favorite keto noodle sauce.

5. Almond Flour Pasta

Almond flour pasta is just as it sounds: pasta made with almond flour instead of typical white flour. Almond flour has zero carbs, 12 grams of fat, 5.6 grams of protein, and an abundance of magnesium and Vitamin E, compared to a white/wheat mix, bleached flour with over 70 grams of carbohydrates. (6,7,8) You can make your own at home or purchase store-bought, however, make sure to read nutrition labels carefully, as some almond flour pasta brands contain high abounds of carbohydrates.

6. Cauliflower Noodles

Cauliflower is an amazingly versatile keto-friendly food. From rice, potatoes, couscous, and pizza crust to now pasta, it’s a healthy low-carb alternative to satisfy your noodle needs. Chop it up and roast or steam it for the tender pasta effect, then enjoy its 2.1 grams of carbs, 1.8 grams of protein, 0.5 grams of fat, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and folate. (9) This Keto Zone Cauliflower Mac and Cheese recipe is perfect for pasta-lovers!

Bottom Line

With these 6 pasta alternatives, you don’t need to worry about missing noodles anytime soon. Try out some of the recipes above to see which substitute you like best!

How to Stay in Ketosis During the Holidays

‘Tis the season for sugary, processed eats that don’t agree with the Keto Zone diet. Some may think it’s impossible to get through the holiday season without slipping up on festive foods. But this isn’t the case, especially when you implement the following tips.

1. Focus on Sleep

Lack of sleep can put hunger and appetite hormones like leptin and ghrelin out of whack, which means it’s extra important to get your 7-9 hours every night during the holidays. (1) You already have enough temptations as it is, and a bad night’s sleep will only boost the cravings.

2. Use Keto-Friendly Holiday Recipes

It might seem like nothing can compare to the standard carb-loaded Thanksgiving foods like mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. But recipes like Keto Zone Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes and Keto Zone Pumpkin Pie tell a different story.

Instead of eating foods that can knock you out of ketosis, make keto-friendly substitute recipes that will keep you enjoying both the holiday favorites and fat-burning benefits.

3. Fuel Before You Go

Holiday parties are often the culprit of keto slip-ups. To avoid a social binge, eat a high-protein, high-fat meal along with lots of water before you head out the door. This way, you’re too full-on healthy, keto-friendly foods to even consider those holiday cookies.

As an easy before-party fix, drink a Keto Zone Shake!

4. Eat When You’re Hungry

During the holidays, eating unhealthy foods becomes a social ritual. All of a sudden you find yourself grabbing a slice of cake because everyone else is– not because you’re hungry.

Combat this by becoming more in tune with your appetite cues and only eating when you’re hungry.

5. Move

The holidays are crazy busy, and as a result, exercise is often thrown out the window. However, it’s actually one of the most important times of the year to keep up with physical activity as we tend to eat more food in general.

You can make time to move by going for a relaxing walk after a meal or by making an effort to play with the little ones in your family. Any movement counts!

6. Keep Up with Keto Zone Supplements

The festive season means your routine will be out of balance, which is okay! It doesn’t mean to throw all of your healthy habits to the curb.

Stick to the basics, like using Keto Zone MCT Oil Powder in your coffee and including supplements like Keto Zone Instant Ketones and Keto Zone Hydrolyzed Chicken + Marine Collagen with Probiotics in your diet. Not only are they gentle reminders to stick to your keto plan, but they’ll also aid in continuing fat loss throughout the holidays.

Instead of leaving the season feeling down about gaining weight, leave it feeling ecstatic because you shed pounds!

Bottom Line

The challenge of eating healthy throughout this upcoming season hopefully seems a little less worrisome.

Have you added Keto Zone supplements to your holiday cart yet? Now’s the time you’ve been waiting for!
