¿Son compatibles con la dieta keto? Tienen muy buena pinta.

Hola Ana, si hablamos desde un punto de vista estricto no lo son, en la dieta keto o cetogénica no se pueden consumir frutos secos, al menos durante la primera fase, los primeros 20-30 días, el motivo es que 100 gramos de frutos secos, contienen una cantidad considerable de hidratos de carbono netos.
Por ejemplo, 100 gramos de almendras crudas, contienen 10 gramos de carbohidratos netos, se pueden consumir por ejemplo, 25 gramos al día y restar esos 5 gramos al total de carbohidratos del día, pero si se combinan con otros frutos secos, como pistachos, anacardos, nueces, la cantidad de carbohidratos sube mucho, por eso hay que ser muy prudentes con su consumo.
Estos cracker además de almendra, llevan almidón de tapioca y de arrurruz, que son dos tubérculos, que tampoco están permitidos en la dieta keto, si bien es cierto que llevan muy poca cantidad, deberías calcular muy bien, qué cantidad de carbohidratos suponen en el total del día y en base a eso ver si te compensa cambiarlos por una buena cantidad de verduras de hojas verdes, que quizás llenen más tu plato.
Si algo tiene la dieta cetogénica es que es muy restrictiva y sobre todo al principio, para que el cuerpo pueda entrar en cetosis y empezar a quemar grasa.
Espero haber aclarado tus dudas, saludos.
Francesca.
