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.
Nuts: especially walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts, are good sources of lecithin and can be consumed on the keto diet considering their carbohydrate content.
