I personally struggled with cutting out pasta and potatoes. But the one thing I switched too, to help me to cut out the carbs was heart of palm for pasta and mashed up cauliflower for the potatoes. Yes I know they aren’t the same but the texture and flavor can be almost identical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even once I started to crave sweets, keto has options to help substitute sugar for other sweeteners. Like monk fruit, stevia, erythritol, and swerve. I personally only had stevia and its a great substitute for sugar. One of the most recent recipes I have made is a Peanut Butter Chocolate Shake and it is very taste. Heres<\/a> the link to the recipe if you want to try it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are ever struggling with anything there is a lot of helpful tools online. Most of you probably have Instagram, Facebook or even TikTok. Their is a lot of accounts that will show you foods you can make or even support if you need it. Social media is a great spot to learn about keto if you need help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
