10 Low Carb Foods
Low Carb Food #6: Butter
Butter has a terrible reputation for being very unhealthy, although it is actually very nutritious for us. While it is true that it is high in fat content, these tend to be ‘good’ fats. What’s more is that butter is also packed with essential vitamins and minerals. While excessive fat is not good for us, fat is good to have in a low-carb, high-fat diet. In such a diet, the fat gets processed for energy instead of carbs, helping us to actually lose excess stored fat.
Remember to use natural butter, though, and not highly processed alternatives. Such alternatives are likely to be high in carbs and without the nutritional value. Another great reason to use natural butter instead of butter alternatives is that butter is absolutely delicious in cooking.
