What Sweets Can I Eat on Keto?
You can eat many different types of sweets on a keto diet. However, they must be sweetened with keto-friendly sweeteners. For instance, erythritol (learn more in the graphic below) and stevia-based sweeteners have become very popular among ketogenic dieters as a viable replacement for sugar. Many traditional sweets can now be made with these natural sugar replacements, making keto a very easy diet to follow!
Note: As a rule, it’s best to avoid artificial (synthetic) sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame. They won’t kick everyone out of ketosis, but they should be approached with caution.
Is Sugar-Free Candy Carb-Free?
Usually, but not always. Sometimes recipe creators and manufacturers will sneak carbs in some form into sugar-free candy, so make sure to check the label before digging in.
That said, there are many different artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners that can be used in candy to make it carb-free. Using sugar-free sweeteners can prevent many health issues such as weight gain and insulin spikes.
Can You Eat Chocolate on a Keto Diet?
You can definitely eat chocolate on the keto diet, but it depends on what the chocolate is sweetened with. Chocolate sweetened with natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol, are okay to eat on the keto diet. Researchers have demonstrated that chocolate has health benefits: “…flavanols from cocoa products may provide some cardiovascular benefit if included as part of a healthy diet for patients…” so don’t be afraid to give into your chocolate cravings!
