This may derail your efforts to stay in of ketosis. Ketosis is the state your body enters when it doesn't have enough carbs for your cells to use for energy. This reduction in carbs puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis, which is when the body is able to burn fat. But the sausage patty adds more fat and calories to your meal than bacon, so it’s a more satisfying and macro-conscious order. Several things on IHOP’s menu may be tempting, but in order to stick to your keto diet restrictions and stay in ketosis, you’ll need to steer clear of certain high-carb menu items. Without them, you’ll lose 14 grams of total carbs from your meal. Without the English muffin, you’ll drop 24 grams of total carbs from Chick-Fil-A’s egg white, grilled chicken and American cheese breakfast sandwich. Leave off the crispy bell peppers and this simple mixed-greens salad loses six grams of total carbs. Without the crispy bell peppers, the cobb salad loses six grams of total carbs, and if you order it with either the avocado lime ranch or garden herb ranch dressing, it’ll still clock in at 12 grams of net carbs (plus some added fat).
