Beef Jerky for a Keto Diet Snack

 There is no doubt that Beef Jerky makes a convenient and tasty snack, but is Jerky suitable to consume while on a Keto healthy eating plan?

Firstly, let's take a look at what a Keto diet is.

The ketogenic diet (or keto diet, for short) is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers many health benefits.

In fact, many studies show that this type of diet can help you lose weight and improve your health.

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body uses fat for fuel instead of carbs.

Ketosis occurs when you significantly reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, limiting your body’s supply of glucose (sugar), which is the main source of energy for the cells.

What is the Role of Protein in a Keto Diet?

Animal protein is commonly referred to as “complete protein” because it contains all 9 essential amino acids, in consistently high amounts.

Keto-friendly animal protein sources include meat, poultry, seafood, eggs and cheese. This is what makes Mallory’s Tocinos’ Beef Jerky, PorkJerky, Kangaroo Jerky and even Chicken Jerky an ideal high protein snack.

Protein is an essential macronutrient, needed for a whole host of important bodily processes. These include:

·        Creation of key enzymes and hormones

·        Muscle growth and repair

·        Supporting healthy bones and joints

·        Promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails

·        Maintaining pH of blood and bodily fluids

·        Supporting immune function
