The popularity of the ketogenic diet has reached new heights.
Once considered a fringe idea, it broke into the mainstream a few years back and has been sweeping the nation ever since.
From rapid weight loss to improved immunity, the keto claims are bold, and millions of people on social media have been sharing their success stories in real-time.
Does a true keto bread exist? Is it even possible? Let’s examine the tenets of the keto diet, determine how bread fits into the lifestyle, and see whether keto bread is fact or fiction.
A quick keto guide
So you’ve seen the recipes online, heard trainers talking about it at the gym, and probably have a friend or family member who mentions it every other sentence.
According to an article from Healthline, the positive outcomes of keto are many, provided you stick to it. Here’s is a brief rundown of some of the benefits folks see when going keto:
- Steady and sustainable weight loss at one to two pounds per week.
- Improved hair, skin, and nails, as well as boosted vision, cognition
- More even and sustained energy throughout the day - no spikes and crashes.
- Reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
- Management of type-2 diabetes and other blood sugar issues.
- Better sleep cycles and deeper sleep for improved recovery and health.
With all those amazing upsides, we’re not surprised why keto has received so much positive press and social media hype!
The question is: why aren’t more people following the diet?
Simply put, it isn’t easy. Sticking to the keto lifestyle means being super strict with what foods you eat, and making sacrifices just isn’t for everyone.
See, the keto diet is based on the idea that the body can successfully run on ketones, which are molecules of energy produced by the liver when we enter the metabolic state of ketosis.
Once in this ketogenic zone, the body’s muscles and vital organs use the ketones derived from fat to operate, which means it can start using excess body fat as fuel.
This explains why so many people see rapid fat loss when they enter ketosis. Their bodies are using fat stores as the main energy sources, rather than the quick fuel of sugars it’s used to.
To get to this state in the first place requires we dramatically cut down on carbohydrates and get the body to stop relying on glucose as its key energy source. That means dropping blood sugar and insulin levels as well, with the goal of shifting the metabolism.
This is why the Standard Ketogenic Diet recommends that followers try to divide their intake into 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.
Newcomers are thrilled to enjoy eating meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, and avocados in higher quantities than ever before, but before long, it isn’t easy to fight those carb withdrawals.
They call it “keto flu” for a reason, and folks start to experience lethargy, moodiness, and lack of productivity when their body starts shifting gears away from glucose.
Once the initial excitement wears off, the real challenge begins. Things get tough when the cravings kick in, however, and for many folks, their minds turn to bread!
Most breads fall short
One of the most common reasons why keto is so difficult to follow is the ever-present temptation of bread, which has been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years.
It’s soft, squishy, tasty, and seems to be a part of every meal in the Western diet, so we understand why so many folks don’t want to give it up.
The problem with bread starts with the fact that most slices contain around 15 carbohydrates apiece, which for most people will be close to their daily recommended intake on keto.
As Diet Doctor points out, 20 grams of carbs is usually marked at the upper daily limit.
Not only does this one-slice policy seem restrictive, but it also comes with the danger of spiking blood sugar too high in one sitting, which can lead to cravings later on.
For any of us who have fought carb withdrawals, we know how easy it is to give in and binge on bread, crackers, or cookies once we get that first taste.
Seasoned keto veterans know that it’s often better to just practice bread abstinence!
Common keto wisdom also states that carbs should be spread throughout the day in low amounts, ensuring the body maintains the ideal metabolic state and you don’t experience crashes or cravings.
For most folks, that one slice of bread just isn’t worth the risk.
Popular alternatives
So, let’s get to the bottom of this: what exactly is keto bread?
While an exact definition doesn’t exist, there are tons of products hitting the market that make the claim.
We’d say that any bread with fewer than 5 net carbs per slice is acceptable for the keto diet, provided it does not contain any unwanted hidden ingredients or chemicals.
With this in mind, true keto bread is hard to find, especially in stores. It can be pricey, and it doesn’t taste great most of the time.
This can be discouraging for keto newbies, who may be tempted to go back to regular bread.
Remember, the majority of most normal bread is loaded with carbs, and should probably be disqualified from any serious keto strategy.
Don’t be fooled by the “healthy bread” you see at the store which claims to use only organic ingredients. As pointed out in an article from Verywell Fit, even the most innocent-looking bread can pack up to 18 grams of carbohydrates a slice.
It isn’t a shock to see that chefs and foodie influencers have begun to move away from bread altogether as they advocate for the keto diet.
Just browse through Instagram to see the endless amount of keto alternatives that offer great bread alternatives, like lettuce wraps, eggplant disc buns and nori sheets.
Still, there’s nothing like soft, chewy bread to experience a perfect sandwich, morning piece of toast or hearty accompaniment to your favorite comfort-food soup.
For these things, only bread will fit the bill.
The best keto bread
We think it’s great that keto is catching on so broadly, but for years we felt that something was missing: authentic, delicious keto bread.
In a world gone crazy for keto, it was a mystery to us why better keto-friendly bread wasn’t readily available to the public.
Sure, those recipes for “Oopsie Bread” and “Cloud Bread” can work in a pinch, but they only vaguely remind us of real bread instead of fully scratching that itch.
That’s why we put a ton of research and development into our flagship product, Superfood bread, and why it’s now considered among the best keto bread in the world!
This bread looks great, cooks great, and tastes like an authentic dark sourdough loaf you’d get from your local organic bakery.
The nutritional profile on this bread is truly impressive, with nine grams of fiber and only two net carbs per slice. Don’t forget the six grams of protein and 11 grams of healthy fat, as well!
That’s right, at two carbs per slice, you can enjoy this bread at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while still having some carbs left over for a midnight snack!
Load up your favorite keto spreads like avocado and chicken salad, or enjoy a hearty steak sandwich that you’ve been missing for so long.
We’re also proud to say that our bread is the best keto option out there for making grilled cheese and French toasts, which are two recipes we never thought possible on this diet.
On top of all that, the bread is completely gluten and dairy-free, meaning you can enjoy it no matter what dietary restrictions you may have.
See how we compare to the competition, and it’s no exaggeration when we call this bread revolutionary! It is truly changing the way people enjoy bread that promotes the keto lifestyle.
Conclusion
If you’re ready to finally make the keto commitment, we recommend you have a reliable source of great keto bread lined up and ready to go.
Way too many folks think that they can dive headfirst into the keto lifestyle and not miss the taste and texture of real bread. While some are able to handle the sacrifice, it makes the entire process much easier if you have good bread to get you through.
To make sure you stay on track, we deliver Keto Kubes right to your door, four at a time, based on your schedule.
That means you’ll never be without low-carb, high-nutrition bread that gets you closer to your goal with every bite.
