Keto: net carbs 1g

If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

Example:
A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.

RECIPE: DIY Nut & Seed Milk

Nut milks are a great alternative to dairy milk, but can get a bit expensive. Making your own nut milk is quick and easy. Here are some reasons why you should give it a try:

1. You can make any kind of milk you want. Use almonds, cashews, walnuts, flax seeds, sunflower seeds or any combination.

2. You can customize the sweetness and flavors. Add vanilla, agave, or brown rice syrup if you'd like or leave it unsweetened.

3. It's economically and eco friendly. Buy nuts and seeds in bulk and save money & packaging.

ALMOND MILK RECIPE:

1. Soak 1 cup of almonds for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Drain almonds and add to blender with 4 cups of water.
3. Blend almonds and water on high speed about 30 seconds, or until very well mixed.
4. Pour almond milk mixture into a very fine mesh strainer and allow to drain. Stir the mixture in the strainer to help the liquid come through.
Learn about Vitamin D, Milk and You

Vitamin D is an important vitamin - it helps us live longer, improves bone health and increases immunity. And it's easy to get - it comes straight from the sun!

But the truth is that many people have a hard time getting enough. Vitamin D is not found naturally in many foods. That's why it's supplemented in milk. Fat helps in the absorption of D - keep this in mind if you drink nonfat milk.

But is milk a good source of Vitamin D? Not exactly . . .

Many studies have found milk contains less Vitamin D than it purports. And you've only got around 20-25% of Vitamin D in fortified milk - you shouldn't drink 4 glasses of a milk a day.

If you're having a tough time getting enough D, don't rely solely on milk. Try and include D-rich foods in your diet, or consult with a health professional about taking supplements. You should never self-prescribe D supplements - get your levels tested first because Vitamin D can be toxic.

New guidelines released in 2011 recommend 600 IU a day of Vitamin D, with the average requirement of 400 IU. See the link for a detailed chart on calcium and Vitamin D recommendations.
