Dairy products are a complicated category because cheese, for example, is perfect for eating on the keto diet because it is low in carbohydrates and high in fat, but what about cow’s milk?
A cup of whole milk contains a total of 11.4 grams of carbohydrates and 0 fiber, which means that it also contains 11.4 g of net carbohydrates per cup.
Milk is not keto-friendly because it contains large amounts of sugar in the form of lactose.
