The ketogenic diet does make everyone quit all snacks, which feel a bit too thick, so today I will introduce to you a ketogenic snack that you can safely eat - chocolate.

More than 85% dark chocolate

We want to buy more than 85% dark chocolate. Generally, the packaging of this kind of chocolate is not large, and the carbohydrate content is not high. Winter is coming soon, and it will be more comfortable to eat some chocolate. Although many people on the keto diet will tell us not to eat carbohydrates, not to eat any carbohydrates, but the carbohydrate content of dark chocolate above 85 is very, very low. I don’t even know this If we can’t even eat carbohydrates, then we might as well not go into ketosis, and we can still treat ourselves occasionally. Eat what you want. If you don't believe it, you can use a blood glucose meter to test your blood sugar. I can tell you quite clearly that your blood sugar rise is very small and almost invisible.

Blood sugar measurement

In addition to talking about chocolate today, we also talk to you about what ketoacidosis is. When many people hear that you are losing weight through ketosis, their first reaction is that you will suffer from ketoacidosis. Many people ask the editor what is ketoacidosis? In fact, there is a lot of information on the Internet. Then I will tell you in my simplest way, when will ketoacidosis occur? It is usually more common in patients with type 1 diabetes than in patients with late-stage type 2 diabetes. This means that it is more likely to occur in people who have problems with the body's insulin function.

These can raise blood sugar

When we eat a lot of starch, the body's blood sugar will increase and our insulin will not be secreted. Therefore, our body does not have any source of energy. At this time, our liver will break down fat and produce ketone bodies. There are too many ketone bodies, and the human body cannot bear them. This will cause ketoacidosis. Usually ketoacidosis occurs when blood sugar is very high. At this time, it is easier to become dehydrated. After dehydration, the body's fatigue value will be reduced, which can easily lead to ketoacidosis. But why don’t we ordinary people? Because our insulin inhibits the production of ketone bodies.
