Unlike many restrictive diets, the keto diet includes a lot of keto-friendly foods other diets wouldn’t allow. Health magazine has a pretty extensive shopping list, which includes:

Meat, poultry, and eggs – chicken, turkey, beef, venison, pork, and lamb
Seafood – wild salmon, sardines, mackerel, shrimp, crab, tuna, mussels, and cod
Low-sugar fruits – tomatoes, avocados, most berries, coconut, lemons, and limes
Low-carb vegetables – spinach, arugula, eggplant, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, bell peppers, cabbage, celery, and more.
Nuts and seeds – Macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, flaxseed, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds
Dairy products – cheese, cream, butter, plain Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese
Oils – extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, nut oils, coconut butter and MCT oil

Happily, avoiding sugar doesn’t mean you have to give up all your favorite desserts and homemade meals. SweetLeaf Stevia Sweeteners are a keto-friendly sweetener for foods, beverages, and recipes. The SweetLeaf Conversion Chart is a good place to learn how to make the change from sugar to SweetLeaf, as is the interactive SweetLeaf Conversion Calculator, which automatically converts all recipe amounts for you.

Summer officially said goodbye to us. Now we are at the season ready for the cold weather. This year goes so fast and all of us know the reason. We have been quarantined for too long. I believe you are like me, the most fun thing at home is to cook! Cooking at home sounds healthy, but if you are a sweet tooth, all the sugar will bring so much “sweet weight” on you. Glad it’s never too late to start your new journey with natural sweeteners.

Recent years have marked a major shift in attitudes toward added sugars and how they impact the health of Americans. The American Heart Association recommends a daily added sugar intake of no more than 36 grams/9 teaspoons/150 calories for men and 25 grams/6 teaspoons/100 calories for women and children (ages 2-19). Added sugars are those which are not naturally occurring. Examples of natural sugars include those found in fruits, vegetables, and milk.

SweetLeaf^® Stevia Sweetener is a delicious, no-sugar, zero-calorie alternative which can help you stay within the recommended guidelines for daily added or hidden sugars. Reduce or eliminate sugars by adding SweetLeaf^® as a delicious replacement.
