  • If you are following a ketogenic diet (keto), you need to restrict your daily carbohydrate intake so that your body enters ketosis.

    For most people, this means less than 50 net carbs per day.

    Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fiber from total carbs.

    Example:
    A product with 26 grams of total carbohydrates and 9 grams of fiber will have 17 grams net carbs. Math equation: 26 - 9 = 17

    IMPORTANT: Net carbs are per serving. Make sure you know your serving size or else you may go over your planned intake and exit ketosis.

  • Stevia is considered the most natural non-nutritive sweetener because it comes from a plant. If you were consuming only the leaves, this would certainly hold ground.

    However, what you are actually consuming is a concentration of steviol glycoside - a chemically altered version of the leaf.

    Some tout stevia as the miracle sweetener, while others couldn't disagree more. Studies have called it a carcinogen, while other studies say it has medical benefits. Proponents of its use say that it can help improve medical conditions from diabetes to heart disease. Stevia has been used widely in Japan since 1970, but was only approved by the FDA in 2010.

    While stevia certainly seems like an improvement over other artificial sweeteners, it may not deserve the halo of health it has received - only time will tell. As far as using stevia, keep in mind that like any sweetener, it should be consumed in moderation.
  • Erythritol is a sugar alcohol occurring naturally in fruits. However, it is much cheaper to produce industrially. This is done by fermenting glucose with a yeast called Moniliella pollinis.

    Erythritol is only 60% as sweet as regular sugar. It has almost no calories - only 0.2 calories per gram vs. 4 calories for sugar (1/20th of the calories!).

    An advantage Erythritol has over other sugar alcohols is that it is absorbed by the body and therefore does not cause cramps or bloating.
