Try cutting it out for a while and see how you feel!

If it’s pure stevia, then yes. The Zing baking blend has regular sugar in it, so it’s a definite no for the keto diet.

Sure! Our favorite is Torani and Walden Farms. Try them, they’re great!

Definitely, give it a try! It’s a miracle when it comes to low carb baking. Experiment with how much you need to add because everyone’s sweetness tolerance is different. Enjoy! 🙂

Oopsie! That is what I meant. I didn’t even realize I put the wrong word. After reading reviews on Amazon, yours got the best, and most reviews by far, so that is what I’m going to try. Kind of excited!

Do you mean So Nourished? That’s our company where we sell sweeteners, ketone strips, spiralizers and more to come! We recommend other brands as well because we trust them and they’re available in supermarkets :). We highly recommend erythritol but the brand is up to you! Of course, we stand by our brand, So Nourished, and think you’ll love both the quality and price.

We love Walden Farms pancake syrup or Sukrin syrups or ChocZero Honest Syrups 🙂

Yes! We specify that in the recipe notes earlier in the book + a bunch of other handy tips 🙂

Beet sugar is still sugar 🙂 it’s a no-no on the ketogenic diet.

Thank you!

Not okay! It can cause blood sugar spikes and many people experience pretty uncomfortable stomach pain and gassiness afterward. We steer clear of it, no matter what.

Still full of sugar, so it’s a no.

Yes! It’s a bit fruity and not at all bitter, like stevia.

They seem fine, though we prefer using brands that list only 1 ingredient. For example, pure erythritol with no fillers or 100% pure stevia extract.

I use EZ Sweetz Stevia in liquid form. I really like the taste but it has some stuff in it that I am not sure are ok. Please look at these ingredients and let me know if they are safe:
Filter Water, Stevia Extract (Reb-A), Glycerin, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Succinic Acid, and Citric Acid.

Splenda is a brand name of sucralose – a synthetic chemical created in a lab from sugar. Keto encourages natural sweeteners whenever possible. Also, when using Splenda for baking, you’re using way more than a teaspoon at a time, so those carbs can easily add up. Erythritol and stevia are 0 carb, as in monk fruit sweetener, another popular option.

Swerve is just a brand name of erythritol and is fine to use 🙂 Good luck!

Yes, Truvia is great! Just make sure there’s no maltodextrin – some blends have that as one of the ingredients.

The only sweetener we use is erythritol (in both granulated and powdered form). Whenever we need something paleo friendly, in liquid form or just to add to the effects of erythritol, we will use stevia. Both of these are natural and considered keto-friendly. They won’t (in most people) raise blood sugar levels.

Bottom line: we don’t use it – we prefer the more natural stuff 🙂

Hope that helps!

Personally, no. We use erythritol and we love it. Other people say they enjoy the taste of xylitol more than erythritol. The only downsides are it’s a bit higher in carbs and is toxic to dogs. Try it out and see which you like better!
