low carb diet results

hi everyone! it's esther here. i hope you're having a great day! i am here with my keto fat bomb grocery haul. i have a lot of sugar substitutes. if you've been watching my channel you know that i'm

low carb diet results, about to start testing them and adding them back into my diet to see how they affect my blood keto levels as well as just me being in ketosis in general. i

took a lot of your suggestions and i have a lot of really good artificial sweeteners here to try out. but if you're just tuning in to my channel i have been running, i have been running a series on getting back into ketosis and checking my blood ketone levels. i've been sharing my test results. if you want to find out more about what i've been doing

you can just click on the card above and it will take you right to it. but i do feel like sugar substitutes and fat bombs kind of go hand in hand. i didn't make any fat bombs while i was not eating sugar substitutes just because most of the fat bombs that i eat are sweet or they have dairy in them if they're savory. and as most of you know i have cut out

dairy for a while. so i'm just really excited to start having fat bombs again! so let's get into the grocery haul. so the first item i got is this raw coconut butter. this works really well with any sort of keto baking and with fat bombs in general. it just has the right texture to melt really well and it just tastes really good too. so i got this artesana

organics brand, i guess is how you say it. and it's whole coconut puree so there's no added sugars in here. and then the next item is that i bought is just ghirardelli 100% unsweetened cocoa. i get several different brands. i just make sure it's unsweetened. this one just happen to be on sale this week so i got this one. i've actually

never tried to ghirardelli cocoa. so i'm sure it's really good. i remember really enjoying their chocolates when i was not on keto. and then i bought a bunch of lemons. so this might give you a clue as to my next fat bomb flavor. the first artificial sweetener that i purchase is monk fruit in the raw. i've been wanting to try out monk fruit for a while. i see it

on a lot of keto blogs and vlogs and i've seen it on the dr. oz show as well, and i've been really curious to try it ever since. so really excited to try this stuff, see how it tastes as well as how it affects my ketone levels. now i do want to just kind of note the nutrition facts on each of these artificial sweeteners for you guys. so if we look at this one it

looks as if this monk fruit is a blend of maltodextrin and monk fruit extract. i'm going to start a blog post just kind of digging in to these different ingredients and any of my findings on those. so for this one teaspoon is considered a serving size. and that has pretty much zero calories. the total carbs in one teaspoon is 0.5

grams. and it also says sugars less than .5 grams. the next artificial sweetener that i purchased is swerve. again it's one that i just see on a lot of keto vlogs & blogs. so very excited to try this out. i see it on pinterest a lot as well. ok and here are the nutrition facts for swerve sweetener. so serving size is one teaspoon for this.

zero calories and it has zero fat, zero sodium. four grams of carbs which is pretty significant for a ketogenic diet. zero sugars and four grams of erythritol. it does have this little disclaimer on here. it says the ingredients in swerve do not affect blood sugar so the carbohydrates it contains are considered non impact. so

i find that pretty interesting. the ingredients in the swerve are erythritol, oligosaccharides, and natural flavors, which could be anything. i don't know what that means/ and this one i didn't purchase today i actually had it in my cabinet. so i'm pretty familiar with using this. this is stevia in the raw and this is the one for baking. it's actually a

blend. if you look at the ingredient it's maltodextrin blended with stevia leaf extracts. okay for the stevia in the raw nutrition facts. serving size is one teaspoon. zero calories, zero fat, zero sodium, and it says less than .5 grams of carbs, sugar less than .5 grams, zero grams of protein. i also bought a erythritol. it's an

all-natural sweetener. so i'll be testing this out as well. i think i have used erythritol in the past as well, and it is one of my favorite sweeteners that i found so far. so i'm excited to see how this affects my ketone levels. so for the erythritol 1 teaspoon is a serving size. seems to be the trend with all of these artificial sweeteners. zero

calories, zero fat, zero sodium, zero cholesterol, four grams of carbs, and it also says four grams of sugar alcohols. and i don't see an ingredient list. i think that's because it is a hundred percent. yeah here it is, so this is a hundred percent pure erythritol. then i also got this cute little chocolate mold. i use a lot of different

chocolate molds all the time. and these are cute little... they look like peanut butter cups chocolate molds. they are smaller than the ones i typically use for fat bombs. so there'll be little mini fat bombs. and lastly i got xylitol. so i had a couple of requests to test this one out. so i'll be testing out xylitol. i tried xylitol a long time ago back in

the day. i used to use it to make protein bars when i was on a high protein diet. but i have not had this since i've been on keto, so i'll be interested to see how this affects me being in ketosis. and for the xylitol the ingredients are a hundred percent xylitol. and a serving size of this is four grams which is i believe about 1 teaspoon as well. 10

calories. that's pretty significant. and it has 0 grams of fat, zero sodium, zero cholesterol, four grams of carbs, and of that it's four grams of sugar alcohol. ok so this concludes my keto fat bomb grocery haul. i hope you enjoyed this video. if you did give me a thumbs up and comment below if you have any questions. i would like to know what your favorite

keto sweetener substitute is. so if you could comment below which sugar substitute with you most use on a ketogenic diet. i would love to hear what

you guys are using. and that's all i have for today, so i will see you next time. thank you so much for watching. bye everyone!
