Is Lactose keto?

No, lactose is not compatible with a ketogenic diet. Its composition of pure carbohydrates makes it unsuitable for low-carb eating plans, as it leads to rapid spikes in blood glucose levels, counteracting the goals of ketosis.

Carbohydrate Impact and Glycemic Index of Lactose

Lactose has a significant impact on blood sugar levels due to its status as a sugar, with a high glycemic index that can quickly increase blood glucose. Those managing blood sugar should limit intake of lactose-rich foods.
