The ketogenic diet (or simply keto diet, for short) is all the rage. With promises to help you lose weight and even stave off diseases such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s, it’s no wonder why so many are hopping aboard the keto train. But can you eat your favorite lobster dish while you’re on the keto diet? Read on to learn more:
What is the keto diet?
The keto diet is very similar to the Atkins Diet—it’s low in carbs and high in healthy fat. By replacing carbs with fat, your body is put into a metabolic state called ketosis. In this state, your body becomes extremely efficient at burning fat for energy. This helps people lose weight, but it can also help people lower their blood sugar and insulin levels.
Can you eat lobster on the keto diet?
YES! Lobster is very keto-friendly. In fact, the majority of fish and seafood can be eaten while on the keto diet. This is because seafood such as lobster are low in carbs—the exact type of food you want to be eating a low-carb diet. Additionally, many of the foods you pair with lobsters are also keto-friendly. This includes butter, cream, cheese, healthy oils, veggies, and more.
