IS  LEMON  KETO-FRIENDLY?

BY ELIZABETH SALVINO

LOW CARB JOURNEY

Is lemon keto-friendly? You've probably asked this many times whether you're following a healthy keto diet or just trying to lose some weight.

The short answer—YES! A typical lemon contains about 3.1 grams of net carbs, making it an excellent addition to a low-carb diet.

You can eat a lemon on a strict ketogenic diet and still promote ketosis. It adds a tangy flavor to meals without impacting your carb count.

Lemons are also rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, minerals, and dietary fiber to improve health, support a robust immune system, and regulate blood sugar levels.

Squeeze a bit of lemon juice into your recipes, and the whole flavor changes. Here are some of my favorite low-carb recipes you can try:

SUGAR-FREE LEMONADE

A refreshing and tangy drink without the added sugar to stay fit and hydrated this summer.

2 LEMON ROASTED  CHICKEN

Tender chicken roasted with fresh lemon and herbs for weight loss.

3 LEMON DIJON DRESSING

A bright and tangy dressing perfect for salads and marinades.

4 LEMON AND HERB SAUCE

A versatile sauce that adds a burst of flavor to any dish.
