Is milk keto friendly?
That depends on how you define milk. If it’s standard regular old cow’s milk the answer is no. There are too many carbs in standard cow’s milk. Plant based milks on the other hand are not as bad. There are many out there that are low in carbs. But, these are not real milks and…
