Seafood Benefits Quotes

For lamb, stick with chops, ribs and shank. For pork, the best cuts are shoulder, pork belly, ribs and butt roasts. For poultry, your best options are wings, thighs and drumsticks. As far as seafood is concerned, try shrimp, scallops, lobster, crab, sardines, mackerel, trout and salmon.

One last thought about the supposed health benefits of eating a lot of fruit comes from a meta-analysis looking at fruit and vegetable consumption in relation to breast cancer risk. Findings showed vegetable consumption was associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer—but not fruit.7 Why? Maybe because sugar fuels cancer, but we will get into that later too! But wait, isn’t fruit high in vitamins and minerals? How am I going to get those in? Yes, fruits contain some micronutrients, also called vitamins and minerals. Yes, it is very important to get enough of these in your diet. But fruit isn’t your only option, or even close to the best option. There’s nothing you get from fruit that you can’t also get from foods on a ketogenic diet (except for all that sugar). Below are just a few of the ways you can increase micronutrient intake on a keto diet (we’ll get into these in detail in the following chapters): Keto-friendly non-starchy vegetables 100 percent grass-fed meats and organ meats Nutrient-dense poultry and seafood Properly made greens powders These foods provide everything you need to increase your health and help combat disease—without causing unnecessary spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. It is also worth mentioning that there are a couple keto-approved fruits that we will be mentioning later like certain berries and avocados. These are lower glycemic fruits meaning they do not cause as much of a blood sugar spike, thus making them more acceptable on a ketogenic diet.
