A lot of keto items are only keto in their name. These products aren't low carb in any meaningful way. They simply shrink the serving size to make the carbs appear low. I went to Costco the other day and they had so many low carb keto high protein items and when I looked at the back of the label, the serving size was like 2 tablespoons. Realistically, most people eat about a half cup to a cup of granola. That will triple the carbs or quadruple the carbs and your blood sugar will rise like crazy. These type of products rely on math manipulation and not on metabolic truth, which is what we're all about here, right?
