Keto Diet Food #5: High-Fat Dairy Foods
Foods made from the milk of mammals contain casein, a protein that is necessary for the development of infants. Casein is metabolized into casomorphin, a compound that creates a feeling of contentedness. This compound is the reason that infants become so excited at nursing time and why it’s so difficult to stop eating cheese.
Dairy is a good source of protein, a number of minerals, and linoleic acid (one of the essential fatty acids). These nutrients help the body maintain strength and form. The fats in cheese, milk, and butter may also help lower cholesterol 1https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22030228. This is in stark contrast to mounting evidence that suggests that dairy is unhealthy for your cholesterol levels. However, it’s important to avoid eating a lot of high-fat dairy foods.
