Grass fed Ghee or butter: Which is better for Ketodiet success? 

Grass fed ghee has earned colossal popularity due to the worldwide fame of the keto or ketogenic diet plan. A ketogenic diet is all about the consumption of high fat intake and low carb intake to control obesity. It ignites the ketosis process in which ketones work as fuel and burn unwanted fats from the body.

Therefore, adding saturated fats to your diet works perfectly in shedding extra body weight and thus ensures healthy weight loss in obesity management.

Cow ghee as a source of saturated fats can safely be included in the keto diet plan, and a comparative study with butter can prove that ghee is ahead by its virtue.

Grass fed ghee:  The high fat and adequate calorie matter for the diet

Not wide varieties of food products are available that are high in fat content, reasonable in calorie intake, and low in terms of carbohydrates. Fortunately, cow ghee fulfills all three qualities that make it wonderfully keto diet compatible. Butter has all these three qualities, too, but ghee proves more beneficial for a few reasons.

Fat content of grass fed ghee

A tablespoon of ghee has 14 grams of fat compared to butter’s 10-12 grams, and ghee contains primarily saturated fats, which brings us to MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides). Now the next vital question is how MCTs are important.

Medium Chain Triglycerides

Ghee contains 25% or higher quantity of short-chain and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), whereas butter contains only 12% to 15% MCTs. Short to medium chain fats are easier to digest, and more easy to digest fat is consumed, they will work as a better energy source. As per keto diet rules, these fats get turned into ketones, and you will be faster into ketosis.

MCTs also decrease hunger, help in weight loss, and also boost cells at the mitochondrial level reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and etc.as well as obesity control.

Grass fed ghee: Benefits Over Butter

Lacto-friendly

Ghee contains a negligible quantity of lactose and casein. It doesn’t trigger milk allergies like other dairy products. If you have lactose-intolerance, ghee based recipes are apt for you than butter-based ones.

Vitamins, CLA, and butyrate

Butter contain vitamins and MCTs, but ghee is richer in quantity of short- and medium-chain fatty acids, vitamins, A, D, E, K, and conjugated linoleic acid:  grass fed ghee also contains butyrate, the most ketogenic acid  that promotes a healthy metabolism and gut health.

The Right Kind of Fat

The ketogenic diet demands the consumption of a good amount of fat, but only the suitable kind of fats.

Saturated fats in grass fed ghee raise levels of HDLs (high-density lipoproteins and ultimately help you to manage to take cholesterol out of your blood and prevent the formation of plaque in arteries. 

As fat content in butter is lesser than a similar quantity of ghee, ghee is more keto diet friendly than butter. Butter is not lactose and casein free; hence it is not free from the risk of lactose intolerance-related problems.
