Read More »Here's my guide to low carb milk alternatives, including carbohydrate counts and best uses! A handy list for anyone starting a keto or low carb diet. The following post contains affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you I can make a tiny bit of money to help support this blog. Thank you! When you starting out low carbing – there are SO many changes to make. I mentioned a lot of substitutions for every day ingredients in my 28+ Low Carb Hacks article – so you might want to check that out too! A cup of cow's milk contains 11-12g net carbs, regardless of whether it is whole milk, 1% etc. With many people trying to stay under 20g of carbohydrates per day – it just isn't possible to drink very much of it, so it's best to look for other options. The first thing that I should mention is that it really depends what you're using milk for. Because you wouldn't necessarily use the same alternative for a shake as you would do a soup.

It's a problem mainly of type 1 diabetes but also can happen with type 2 if you get a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Everyone gets bad breath from time to time. Foods like onions or garlic or poor dental habits cause a strong odor in your mouth, which often gets better with simple lifestyle changes. But sometimes, bad breath is more complex and the symptom of a serious health condition. If your breath smells like acetone -- the same fruity scent as nail polish remover -- it may be a sign of high levels of ketones (acids your liver makes) in your blood. It’s a problem mainly of type 1 diabetes but also can happen with type 2 if you get a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). And it can happen for a few reasons not related to diabetes, including keto diets, fasting, and heavy drinking. Diabetes and Acetone Diabetes happens when your blood glucose (blood sugar), a key energy source from food, is too high. Normally, glucose gets into your cells thanks to a hormone from the pancreas called insulin. With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough, or any, insulin or doesn’t use it well. Glucose then lingers in your blood and can’t get into your cells. When your body can’t get energy from glucose, it burns fat in its place. The fat-burning process creates a buildup of acids in your blood called ketones, which leads to DKA if untreated. Fruity-smelling breath is a sign of high levels of ketones in someone who already has diabetes. It’s also one of the first symptoms that doctors look for when they check for DKA.
