It’s Non-GMO Month: Part 2
With the Keto diet and Non-GMO Month being noticed around the same time, why not feature them together!
So what exactly is the Keto diet?
The Keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that offers numerous health benefits. With the drastic reduction is carbs, you put your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. When your body is in ketosis, your body becomes extremely efficient at using fat for energy. Some health benefits from the keto diet are lower blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as switching the body’s metabolism from carbs to fat. Another health benefit that strikes a lot of consumers’ attention is losing body weight and lowering the risk factors for diseases.
What foods should I avoid on the Keto diet?
Foods that are high in carbs should be very limited or even eliminated. The list of foods that should be avoided are: sugary foods, grains or starches, fruit, beans or legumes, root vegetables and tubers, low-fat or diet products, certain condiments or sauces, unhealthy fats, alcohol, & sugar-free diet foods.
What foods should I eat on the Keto diet?
Your plate should be based with the majority of these foods: meat, fatty fish, eggs, butter and cream, cheese, nuts and seeds, healthy oils, avocados, low-carb veggies, & condiments and spices.
Are there any side effects from being on the Keto diet?
Even though the keto diet is safe, there are some initial side effects that your body goes through as you adapt to your new diet. Each individual body is different and unique- so you should be more aware of how you feel and balance accordingly.
At Basil Bandwagon, we carry numerous Keto diet friendly products that are also Non-GMO Project verified! Some of our products are featured below!

It’s Non-GMO Month: Part 1
October is Non-GMO Month! This event is North America’s largest non-GMO celebration. Every October, Basil Bandwagon collects donations in order to raise customer awareness and support Non-GMO Project Verified products.
What is the Non-GMO Project you may ask?
Well, the Non-GMO Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and protecting a non-GMO food supply. They reach this mission through consumer education and outreach programs; marketing support provided to Non-GMO Project Verified brands; and training resources and merchandising materials that they provide to retailers. Around our Basil Bandwagon locations, you will find posters and butterflies that were supplied from the Non-GMO Project in order to spread more awareness.
What is a GMO and why are people so cautious about not consuming them?
Great question! A GMO is a genetically modified living organism whose DNA has been manipulated in a laboratory to create a crossbreed that does not occur naturally. Most GMOs are engineered to resist herbicides and/or produce an insecticide. Today, some technologies have been used to create new organisms and traits, for example, apples not browning.
Research shows that there is a growing amount of evidence that links consumption of GMOs to health problems, environmental damage, and violation of farmers’ and consumers’ rights. Due to the substantial amount of research, more than 60 countries around the world require GMOs to be labeled. With the ample amount of research against GMOs, companies and consumers are choosing to opt out of swallowing GMOs in a fight to live a longer life.
