Often touted as a healthy drink option that not only provides nutrients but also kickstarts your metabolism. However, if you are following a Ketogenic diet, you may not be sure of what types of tea are ok for you to consume or which you should be avoiding. While most teas are going to be ok as long as they aren’t sweetened, you will typically want to stick to brewing your own tea and icing it or drinking it hot. In this article, we will look at some of the most popular options if you want to drink tea on Keto.

Carbs and sugars are found seemingly everywhere and just one slip up can kick your body out of ketosis. Like all other food choices, it is important to ensure that you are reading the labels of tea products that you are consuming because they could be adding sugar to the formula if it’s pre-brewed. However, tea bags will generally be incredibly low-carb and low-calorie, making most of them the perfect break from drinking standard water when you want to relax or just want to enjoy a beverage.

High caffeine teas like black tea and green tea may provide a significant boost when following a Keto diet, as studies have confirmed that some individuals received a spike in ketone production after drinking tea. This in turn provides a steady stream of clean energy with the additional energy provided by the caffeine content of the tea. Instead of reaching for an energy drink, consider finding a high-caffeine tea option that you enjoy and drinking it instead to help you power through the day or start your morning with a quick boost.

One additional variation of tea that may be considered in “Bulletproof Tea”. As a spin-off of Bulletproof Coffee, a strong black leaf tea is mixed with MCT oil and butter to create a calorie-dense meal replacement that is designed to keep the consumer full until lunchtime. Unless you are looking for a quick meal replacement, enjoying a healthy breakfast with hot tea will likely be a better option. Just find what works best for your Keto goals.

At the current time, many people are worried about the current status of the world or wondering if their job will be safe due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19. While this may seem like enough reason to put your weight loss goals on hold, it shouldn’t have to be. Unfortunately, many people will stress eat or eat out of sheer boredom just because they are stuck at home. If you are struggling to maintain your Ketogenic diet goals because of stress eating, here are some steps you can take to influence your choices.

Make Healthier Foods a Priority

It can be easy to stress eat when you surround yourself with unhealthy food options that don’t fit with your required macros. Instead of stocking your pantry with carb-heavy snacks, consider instead filling your fridge with celery, salad or other low-calorie, low-carb food options that can be grabbed quickly as a snack. The main key to avoiding stress eating bad things is to ensure they simply aren’t available to you at the current time.

Manage Your Stress Effectively

Chronic stress has been shown to have a detrimental effect on eating habits and will often lead to choosing the wrong foods simply for the comfort that they provide. For most people, setting aside a portion of their day to destress in their chosen manner may be effective at reducing chronic stress that could result in eating. Some activities that may be considered include taking a walk, practicing your breathing, taking a bath or doing yoga.

Start an Exercise Program

Exercise is proven to be one of the most effective ways to mitigate stress and many professionals will encourage their patients or clients to seek out exercise to facilitate an endorphin rush. Many studies have shown that a boost in endorphins can help improve relaxation and help mitigate stress that an individual may be experiencing. Even if you are only doing light exercise, it should be enough to help and will continue to push your fat loss goals even further.
