After I had my daughter, the Keto diet was intensely popular. Suzanne Ryan’s Simply Keto (the keto bible) had just been released and I was low on energy and wanting to drop the last couple of post baby lbs. They fell off with my son, but after number two…mama needed a little push.

It certainly does what it promises if you stick to the rules and ratios. Low-carb, high fat, moderate protein. I followed a pretty strict keto diet for several months and achieved and maintained my goal. For me, It wasn’t realistic to sustain a true keto diet longterm with breastfeeding and running after two kids. However, leading a low-carb lifestyle has now become my reality. It has been well over a year and I’m just not sure I’ll ever look at bread the same way again.

I love being in the kitchen and have a major sweet tooth. Baking low-carb treats keeps me on track. I made some very simple swaps in my pantry that allow me to create dozens of delicious low-carb recipes.

If you’re wanting to cut sugar and carbs in the kitchen I suggest the following simple sweet substitutes:

Sugar —> Swerve Granular
Powdered Sugar —> Swerve Confectioners
Chocolate Chops —> Lily’s Dark
Brown Sugar —> Swerve Brown
Flour —> Almond and/or Coconut Flour
