Keto Kookies (Nui Cookies) Review

Benefits and pros of Nui Cookies

Nui Cookies are very low in carbs so you can consume them as part of a ketogenic diet without raising your blood glucose and disrupting ketosis. They also offer the following benefits.

✅ Low net carb content makes getting into ketosis easier. Cookies are normally off the menu on the ketogenic diet, and you need to consume 50 grams of carbs or less per day to enter ketosis. With only 2-4 grams of net carbs per two-cookie serving, Nui Cookies are a low carb food that can help you get into ketosis faster.

✅ Convenient and pre-packaged – if you buy a pack of regular cookies, you’ll probably be tempted to eat more than just two. After all, once that pack is open, you can keep grabbing cookies to your heart’s content! With Nui Cookies, the cookies are pre-packaged into two-cookie servings so that you’ll be less tempted to eat more than you should. This also makes them more convenient to carry with you; just grab a single-serving pack and stick it in your bag or pocket.

✅ Good source of MCTs – Nui cookies contain MCTs, short for medium-chain triglycerides. MCTs are a special kind of fat that is highly appreciated by keto dieters. Unlike regular fats, MCTs do not have to go through a long digestive process. Instead, they are quickly transported from your stomach to your liver where they are converted into ketones. Your body can then use these ketones for energy. More ketones mean more energy and faster fat burning. A cookie that speeds up fat loss instead of triggering fat gain? You bet!

✅ Improved digestive health – Nui Cookies contain two gut-friendly ingredients, MCTs and fiber. MCTs make your digestive system healthier by supporting good gut bacteria while getting rid of bad gut bacteria. This strengthens the lining of your intestines and can help boost both digestion and your immune system. Fiber is good for digestion too. By adding bulk to your feces, fiber keeps your digestive system moving properly and preventing the buildup of bad gut bacteria. Health and successful fat loss are dependent on gut health, and Nui Cookies are good for your digestive system.

✅ No spike in blood glucose – unlike sugar, the erythritol in Nui Cookies will not increase your blood glucose levels. Increased blood glucose will disrupt ketosis and also increase insulin production. Insulin is a storage hormone that blocks fat burning.

✅ High in healthy fats – healthy fats are the cornerstone of the keto diet. When you cut carbs from your diet, your body needs an alternative source of energy. Most keto dieters get 60-70% of their calories from fat. Nui Cookies contain coconut oil, butter, MCT oil, egg yolks, and other healthy fats. One serving of two cookies provides between 23-24 grams of this essential keto nutrient.

✅ Gluten-free – most cookies are made from wheat flour. Wheat flour contains a sticky protein called gluten, which is very inflammatory and can cause stomach upsets. Coconut and almond flour, two key Nui Cookie ingredients, are naturally gluten-free and are suitable for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease.

✅ Naturally sweetened – artificial sweeteners often have an unpleasant aftertaste. That’s hardly surprising as they are chemicals. Erythritol and monk fruit extract are natural sweeteners and, despite being carb and calorie-free, taste just like sugar with no nasty aftertaste.

✅ Contains protein – providing 6-8 grams of protein per two-cookie serving, Nui Cookies are a good source of muscle-building amino acids. On keto, 20-30% of your calories should come from protein, and one serving of Nui Cookies contains the same amount of protein as a large egg or 1/3 serving of whey protein.

✅ Contains trace minerals – the ketogenic diet can make you pee more than usual. When you pee more, you don’t just lose water but minerals too. Nui Cookies contain small but meaningful amounts of iron, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorous, as well as sodium. Replacing these lost minerals may help reduce some of the symptoms of keto flu.

✅ Filling and satisfying – Nui Cookies have been designed to satisfy your sweet cravings and fill you up too. Fiber, protein, and MCTs have been shown to make you feel fuller for longer than standard cookie ingredients like sugar and wheat flour. Where you could probably eat half a dozen regular cookies and still feel hungry, a two-cookie serving should be more than enough to ward off hunger and quiet your sugar cravings.

Disadvantages and cons of Nui Cookies

Nui Cookies should be suitable and safe for most users. They are low in net carbs, all-but sugar-free, and won’t derail your keto diet. However, there are a couple of disadvantages that you should consider before buying.

❗️ Price – you can buy a pack of cookies for less than a dollar. Nui Cookies are much more expensive. This is because they contain high-quality ingredients, but, if you are used to buying cheap cookies, the hefty price tag could be a major turn off.

❗️ Stomach upsets – Nui Cookies contain MCTs. Some users report that MCTs cause stomach upsets. If you are already using MCTs as part of your keto diet, you may find the MCTs in Nui Cookies mean you are consuming too much. If you do experience an upset stomach with Nui Cookies, cut back on MCTs elsewhere in your diet, or eat just one cookie instead of two.

❗️ High in calories – calories still count on the keto diet. Nui Cookies contain between 240-270 calories per two-cookie serving. This could be enough extra calories to cause weight gain if you aren’t keeping an eye on your daily calorie intake. If you eat two servings/four cookies, that’s over 500 calories. Do that every day for a week, and you could gain a pound instead of losing weight. Nui Cookies can help you lose weight but only if you avoid overeating.

❗️ Nui Cookies are still cookies – Nui Cookies are undeniably better for you than regular cookies, but they are still a processed food. They contain relatively low amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. There is more to eating healthily than carbs and calories. Supplementing your diet with Nui Cookies is fine, but they should be an occasional treat and not a dietary mainstay.

Conclusion

Sweet treats are few and far between on the keto diet. Just a couple of regular cookies will kick you out of ketosis and put the brakes on fat loss in a matter of minutes. That one cheat could cost you a week of progress! But, because sugar and carbs are off your menu, you’ll probably miss sweet-tasting snacks and experience cravings even if you never did before.

Nui Cookies are the answer to many keto dieter’s prayers. With only 2-4 grams of net carbs and loaded with healthy MCT fats, protein, and fiber, Nui Cookies can help calm your sugar cravings, making your keto diet much easier to stick to. They also contain ingredients that are good for your general health.

Of course, even Nui Cookies are still just snack food, and while they make a good addition to your keto diet, they should not be treated as a replacement for naturally nutritious food. Eat more than one two-cookie serving per day, and you’ll probably gain weight rather than lose it. But, if you want a keto-friendly treat that won’t ruin your diet, Nui Cookies are a good choice.
