Is Hidden Valley Original Ranch Homestyle Dressing Keto?

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Homestyle Dressing should be avoided on keto because it is a high-carb processed food that contains unhealthy ingredients like sugar, canola oil, and modified starch.

High in Net Carbs

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Homestyle Dressing is high in carbs (6.67g of net carbs per 100ml serving) so you need to avoid it as much as possible.

It is important to limit your net carb consumption to 20g - 30g per day to stay in ketosis.

Contains Highly Refined Oils

Hidden Valley Original Ranch Homestyle Dressing contains highly refined canola oil and soybean oil. These refined oils are prone to oxidation and may cause inflammation in the body.

Highly refined oils are usually extracted using high heat and chemicals. This process strips out the nutrients from the oil and replaces them with harmful chemicals.

It is important to get your fats from healthy sources so your body can burn clean fuel while on ketosis. You may check out our list of best and worst oils for keto here.

Contains Modified Starch

Modified Starch is a controversial additive that is included in our list of food additives to avoid for keto.

Food additives are potentially harmful to health and should be avoided as much as possible.

Most of your diet should come from minimally processed foods to achieve a healthy weight loss on keto.
