Lecithin

Lecithin is a natural substance widely used in the food industry as an emulsifier.

Lecithin helps improve fat metabolism and helps the body more effectively break down fats on a keto diet.

Lecithin is also a source of choline, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system.

Lecithin can be obtained from both food sources and as a dietary supplement.

On a keto diet, it is important to choose products that are not only rich sources of lecithin but also meet the low-carb requirements of this diet. These products include:

• Eggs: especially egg yolks are one of the richest sources of lecithin.
• Fatty fish: such as salmon or sardines also contain high levels of lecithin and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Meat: organic meat, especially liver, can be a good source of lecithin.
• Seeds: sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds contain lecithin and are suitable for the keto diet in moderate amounts.
• Nuts: especially walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts, are good sources of lecithin and can be consumed on the keto diet considering their carbohydrate content.
