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:
A refreshing and tangy drink without the added sugar to stay fit and hydrated this summer.
Tender chicken roasted with fresh lemon and herbs for weight loss.
A bright and tangy dressing perfect for salads and marinades.
A versatile sauce that adds a burst of flavor to any dish.
My whole life I have fought and lost the weight loss battle... until recently when I changed my entire way of eating to Low Carb / Keto. In SIX MONTHS I lost 10+ INCHES off of my waistline by eating my own low carb recipes. I'll be sharing more recipes with you... I'm a true believer in the low carb lifestyle!!
