in today's video i'm going to be giving you the top 10 low-carb snacks you can eat to kill
cravings if you are eating a low-carb ketogenic or carnivore diet figuring out what snacks you
can eat can be a bit confusing especially when there are so many terrible products
targeting keto on the market and these products are terrible for a few different reasons
aside from the usual long list of questionable ingredients they contain they're also not great
because of how processed they are some of these products are so heavily processed that they don't
even fill us up and they don't even satisfy our cravings and especially when you're first getting
started on a low carb diet as your body adjusts your cravings can be pretty intense so in today's
video i'm going to be giving you the top 10 low carb snacks you can eat to kill cravings and
make sure to stick around until the end because number 10 is one that not many people think of
hey guys welcome back to my channel if you're new here mine is kait i'm a certified health and
nutrition coach i post videos twice a week here on youtube talking all things insulin resistance
weight loss blood sugar management sleep and more so if you're ready to take control of your
metabolic health make sure to click that subscribe button and you can also find me on tick tock and
instagram where i share new posts every single day so i'm first going to start off by saying
that snacking is a bad habit to get into ideally we should be eating enough within our meals
that we don't need to snack in between this will lead to better blood sugar management
more efficient weight loss and a decreased disease risk but i also understand that there
are times where snacking might be necessary especially when we're first getting started on
low carb keto carnivore diets where we're restricting carbs cravings can be pretty intense
and it is important to choose the right snack options to combat these cravings so we can stay on
track to reach our goals there are also times when you might be traveling or hiking where you may
need to have some snacks on hand and i'm curious just before we get into the list
let me know down below what your favorite low carb snack options are i'm curious to hear but
anyways with that being said let's get into the top 10 best low carb snacks number one olives
olives are one of the best low carb snacks you can have they are low in carbs and high in healthy fat
and when i say olives i mean any type of olives pitted or not all are great number two berries
and greek yogurt berries including strawberries raspberries and blueberries are some of the
lowest sugar and low carb fruit and pairing them with greek yogurt which is not only low in carbs
but also high in fat and high in protein makes the perfect combination for killing cravings
because one of the most common reasons that people experience cravings is because they're not eating
enough protein our bodies require a certain amount of protein every day in order to build
and maintain muscle mass and other tissues in our body and protein also plays a key role in satiety
it is very difficult to over consume protein but it's very easy to over consume carbs
so opting for a snack that is high in protein is one of the best ways to combat cravings
which brings me to snack number three carnivore snax okay if you haven't heard of carnivore snax
before you are absolutely missing out now a lot of people will recommend beef jerky as a good
low carb snack option and it certainly can be but the problem is most brands that are available
are loaded with sugar and loaded with unnecessary ingredients carnivore snacks
are so much better than beef jerky and let me tell you why all of their products contain just
two ingredients meat and salt which means all of their products are high in protein which we just
discussed is key for killing cravings and they also contain zero carbs and they also have a way
better texture than beef jerky let me just open up the pork loin ones to show you instead of being
chewy like jerky they're actually crispy it's more like eating a chip than anything else to be honest
carnivore snax first sent me some of their products to try back in february and i was
honestly blown away being someone who advocates for a low-carb animal-based diet i've tried a
lot of meat-based snacks some of which taste good but have a lot of extra sugar like we spoke about
before and just unnecessary ingredients and other ones that don't have all the unnecessary stuff but
don't taste that great so the fact that carnivore snacks is able to have them taste so good have the
texture be so great and only have two ingredients it's just insane to me
i've already polished off my rib eye bag what else do i have here i've polished off my beef sliders
i just dug into the pork loin and lamb i don't currently have lamb but the leg of lamb is also
so delicious the meat from all of their products is 100 grass-fed and pasture-raised so you know
you're getting the best quality that's good for your health the animal and the planet currently
carnivore snax is available in the united states and canada you can head to hckait.com forward
slash carnivore snax that snacks with an x and use code HCK at checkout to apply the discount
i'll also put the link in the description box down below number four hard-boiled eggs eggs are one of
my favorite foods not only are they obviously delicious and super versatile but they're also
packed with bioavailable nutrients as well as a good amount of fat and protein and minimal carbs
number five collagen smoothie okay so i'm a little bit hesitant to recommend smoothies as a snack
but again context matters a smoothie that is mainly made of fruit and especially tropical fruit
is definitely not a good snack option this smoothie is going to be high in sugar and
carbs it's going to spike blood sugar and your blood sugar is going to come crashing back down
shortly after leading to even more cravings but if you use low carb fruit such as berries which
we spoke about earlier and you add a source of protein such as a collagen powder it will
be a much better option the protein from the collagen is also going to help to kill cravings
number six cheese cheese is of course a keto favorite as long as you're dairy tolerant
hard and aged cheeses are going to be the lowest in carbs and fresh and soft cheeses tend to be
a little bit higher but honestly all are good options for a quick bite on the go number seven
tinned fish okay this is another option i am a huge fan of because of how nutrient dense it is
the best options are going to be tinned salmon mackerel herring sardines and anchovies
these fish are high in fat and specifically high in omega-3 fatty acids which are super
important for health and a lot of people are not getting enough of and of course these fish are
also high in protein now if the thought of having tinned fish as a snack is totally putting you off
give mackerel a go honestly it is a lot less fishy than let's say sardines and it's a lot more mild
it's my favorite by far number eight macadamia nuts again nuts are another low-carb favorite
macadamia are my favorite because they are higher in monounsaturated fat than polyunsaturated fat
when we consume too much polyunsaturated fat in our diet this can cause inflammation so things
like almonds are a bit higher in polyunsaturated fat which is why i tend to like macadamia nuts
instead plus they're way more delicious like no nut can even compare to macadamia nuts
taste wise number nine bone broth honestly bone broth is so good for killing cravings
it's high in protein which we've obviously already spoken about a lot and a lot of other essential
electrolytes and nutrients when our electrolytes are out of balance this can cause cravings
so a mug of bone broth is a really great option homemade or store-bought are both great but just
make sure if you're buying a store-bought one that the ingredients are just bones water and maybe
some vegetables nothing else and finally number 10 seaweed snacks last but certainly not least
these are a great low carb snack option and not for the reasons we've already discussed
this snack is not high in protein it's not high in fat it actually contains very little if any
of either of these macronutrients what it does contain is a little bit of sodium which is an
essential electrolyte which we just spoke about and it is also really high in iodine
i did a video a couple of years ago on iodine maybe i need to do an updated one
let me know down below if you would like to see that video because honestly this is a nutrient
that a lot of people are not getting enough of and it doesn't get tested for regularly so a lot of
people don't even realize especially if you don't eat a lot or any seafood and sometimes an iodine
deficiency can lead to cravings so if this is the cause of your cravings seaweed snacks can be a
really good option anyways guys that's all i have for you today let me know in the comment section
