Der ultimative Guide für Nüsse in der Low-Carb Keto-Ernährung

The ultimate guide to nuts in the low-carb keto diet

Overview of the Content


Why Keto?

The ketogenic diet is gaining popularity. It shifts your body into a state called ketosis, where fat is used as the primary energy source instead of carbohydrates. To achieve this, daily carb intake is significantly reduced. Your liver then produces ketone bodies, which provide lasting energy and enhance mental clarity.

Typical Macronutrient Ratio in Keto

  • 5% Carbohydrates
  • 60–80% Fats
  • 15–35% Proteins

Scientifically Proven

Studies show that a ketogenic diet not only boosts fat burning but can also support conditions like type 2 diabetes and epilepsy.

What Happens in the Body During a Ketogenic Diet?

Metabolic Shift

When you reduce your carb intake below 40–50 g per day, your body enters an adaptation phase. Within 3–4 days, glycogen stores in the liver and muscles are depleted. Fat burning then begins, and your liver converts fatty acids into ketone bodies – a process known as ketogenesis.

During this process, three main types of ketone bodies are formed:

  • Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB): The primary energy source in ketosis. Your body uses BHB instead of sugar to fuel your organs and brain.
  • Acetoacetate: A precursor to BHB, partially used directly or converted into BHB.
  • Acetone: A byproduct that is partially exhaled – which is why your breath may smell sweet or fruity at first.

Once in ketosis, you can benefit from steady energy and mental clarity.

Ketone bodies provide energy more efficiently than glucose. While glucose requires 26 steps to be converted into energy, ketones only need 3–5 steps.

Benefits of Ketosis

  • Quick Energy: Ketone bodies are a consistent and efficient fuel source.
  • Enhanced Brain Function: Water-soluble ketones easily cross the blood-brain barrier, supplying the brain directly with energy.
  • Improved Muscle Performance: Muscles benefit from ketones as a direct energy source.

What Role Can Nuts Play in a Keto Diet?

Nuts are essential in a ketogenic diet. They provide healthy fats, valuable proteins, and micronutrients like magnesium and zinc, which are often lacking in low-carb diets. Their low carbohydrate content makes them ideal as snacks and ingredients to fuel your body and support well-being.

💡 Not All Nuts Are Equal:

  • Cashews contain about 30.2 g of carbohydrates per 100 g and are less suitable.
  • Pistachios (23.3 g carbs/100 g) should only be eaten in small amounts.
  • Instead, choose low-carb nuts that are perfect for keto.

Portion Tip: Stick to about 30 g per day – roughly a handful of nuts with less than 5 g net carbs.
