Keto: net carbs -5g

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.

What are chia seeds?

Chia seeds are a food grade version of the same seeds on the chia pet . . . but do much more than entertain.

1. Chia is derived from the word “chian” which means oily. Chia is an edible seed derived from the plant Salvia hispanica. It is a member of the mint family and has been cultivated in Mexico an Guatamela as far back as by the Aztecs.

2. Today, chia seeds are grown and consumed mostly in Mexico. They are also popular in Australia, Bolivia, Guatemala and Ecuador. And it seems they are making inroads to the US.

3. Chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids (in particular – alpha-linolenic acid or ALA). These fatty acids are usually found in oily fish and nuts and are vital in protecting against inflammation as well as assisting with brain development.

4. Chia seeds have a low glycemic index (GI), which means diabetics can use them to help control blood sugar levels.

5. They’re extremely high in fiber (11g in a 1 ounce!).

6. Chia seeds are also rich in antioxidants, which means they can be stored for a long time without going off or rancid.

7. The seeds boast high levels of other nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, iron, molybdenum, niacin, and zinc.
