WHY TO LIMIT IT ON KETO
- Works in small brush-on portions (1–2 tsp) to add flavor with minimal carbs
- Sugar-free teriyaki options or DIY versions with allulose/erythritol are more keto-friendly
- Diluting with soy sauce/tamari and adding sesame oil reduces per-serving carbs
HEALTH BENEFITS
- Provides umami from soy-based ingredients which can improve meal satisfaction
- Small amounts can encourage adherence by boosting flavor variety
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
AVOID OR MINIMIZE
Use keto-friendly Asian sauces instead.
THIN & BRUSH
Mix 1 tsp teriyaki with 1–2 tsp soy sauce/tamari and a splash of sesame oil; brush on salmon or chicken for a lighter-carb glaze.
SUGAR-FREE SWAP
Make a keto teriyaki with tamari, allulose, garlic, ginger, and a touch of xanthan gum.
