In this podcast, we’re going to talk about carrots on keto. I want to answer questions like, are carrots good for you, and can I eat carrots on keto?
What is the glycemic index of carrots? It’s 72, which is high.
What is the glycemic index? It’s a scale of carbohydrates and how fast that carbohydrate will raise your blood sugar. Below 55 is low, above 70 is high. But, we need to look at the whole picture. The glycemic load is the amount of carbohydrates in a food. The glycemic load will take into consideration the fiber, as well.
The calculation is: The glycemic index multiplied by the number of carbs divided by 100. Less than 10 would be low, over 21 would be high.
For carrots:
72 multiples by 4g divided by 100 = 2.88 (very low)
Even though carrots are high on the glycemic index, they have a lot of fiber which inhibits the glycemic reaction.
But, different variables, like taking the carrot juice out of the carrot fiber, or cooking the carrots, can raise the glycemic index.
Overall, are carrots healthy? Yes.
Are carrots one of the keto-friendly vegetables? Yes.
