Keto (ketogenic) eaters stick to a diet of high healthy fat intake, adequate protein and uber low carbohydrate intake.  The diet switches your body chemistry so you start burning ketones as fuel, rather than glycogen.  This results in your body using fat as energy which means your body fat melts right off.  While the keto lifestyle is most frequently applauded for its fat loss properties, it is also purported to have a lot of other health benefits.

 

According to Keto School, just a few of the benefits of a keto diet include:

  • Focusing the brain (increased memory, cognition, clarity, and seizure control; less migraines)
  • Fights some types of cancer
  • Prevents heart disease (lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides, better cholesterol profiles)
  • Battling a wide variety of neurologic and metabolic diseases
  • Improving energy levels and sleep

 

Keto benefits align well with cannabinoid benefits.  It is no wonder that many consumers who enjoy the health benefits of cannabis, also enjoy the benefits of a ketogenic lifestyle.  Especially once you  consider that the healthy fats that keto eaters enjoy, such as coconut oil and clarified butter, are big fans of THC, and used by the top edibles bakers and cannabis chefs around.  

 

There has been many a keto eater that consumes a munchies-inducing strain and finds it difficult to fight the urge to consume a whole ton of carbs.  Just one carb overload session and a keto eater can be kicked right out of ketosis!  

 

We searched keto blogs across the internet to find some delicious goodies, perfect for keto eaters with a case of the munchies.  Some of these are easy to grab at the store at the last minute, and some others may require a bit of prep.  ALL are incredibly delicious and munchie craving satisfying.   Any keto cannabis consumer will be grateful to have these snacks on hand when the munchies kick in.

Macadamia nuts are a simple ready to eat, keto-friendly munchie which you can have in your pantry at all times, or run to the store to pick up in a pinch.  Per serving, they pack about 20 grams of fat and about 2 grams of net carbs (ideal keto).  Buy the ones seasoned with sea salt and you’ll satiate the craving for salty and crunchy when the munchies kick in.

 

#2 Veggie Sticks with Dip

Veggies with some low carb dip is quick, easy and delicious, as long as your celery sticks or cucumbers are cut and washed ahead of time, and your low-carb dip is prepared.
