What types of sugar can you eat on a keto diet?
To reach ketosis which is the goal of those in this kind of diet, one must not eat any sugar that is carbohydrates-rich. But some substitutes can make any dessert sweet but still keto. Here are some:
- Stevia: a plant-based sweetener that has almost zero calories but is sweeter than regular sugar, one teaspoon can replace a cup of sugar.
- Xylitol: a common sweetener used in candies and is a kind of sugar alcohol, add it to coffee, shakes, and other beverages in a 1:1 ratio.
- Sucralose: it goes through the digestive system untouched which means that it does not contribute any calories to the body, it is extremely sweet compared to the regular sugar.
Note that these sweeteners do not raise the levels of blood sugar in the body and hence, they are of a low glycemic index.
