Did you know that sugar is far worse for your health than most carbs?
A high sugar diet has been linked to increased risks of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression and acne. In fact, a common issue with people on the ketogenic diet is that they consume too much sugar, negating the health effects of low carbohydrates.
Now, let's talk about honey.
The busy little bees make honey, and raw honey has many nutritional benefits. This ingredient is one of the widely known substitutes for sugar and is packed with antioxidants. While both raw honey and sugar have the sugar molecules, fructose and glucose respectively, our bodies digest them differently.
Bees add an enzyme to raw honey, which breaks the sugars down into smaller, easily digestible components. Our body burns these sugar molecules to produce energy. With regular sugar, our body needs to do the work. It needs to produce enzymes to break the molecules apart before it stores the sugars as energy.
What most people worry about is whether eating honey will throw them out of ketosis. You need to remember that your body stays in ketosis if you eat between 25 and 50 grams of carbohydrates every day. If you are active, you can eat more than 100 grams of carbohydrates each day and still stay in ketosis. If you consume honey in moderation, you can stay in ketosis.
As mentioned earlier, raw honey is abundant in different minerals and vitamins, including pantothenic acid, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, magnesium, copper, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc, sodium and Vitamin B6. When you replace regular sugar with raw honey, you gain many health benefits, including improved energy, weight loss, increase in antioxidants in your body, antibacterial effects and more.
So, if you love adding some sweet to your dishes, avoid sugar and use raw honey instead. If you are worried about the taste, don't be - raw honey adds both flavor and nutrition to your food unlike sugar. This book has some delicious recipes you can use to incorporate honey to your diet. The instructions are simple, and all the ingredients used can be found in your pantry or the supermarket. If you love sticky, sweet chicken and desserts, use the recipes in the book.
