What the heck can I eat on Keto?

I have what I call a cubby mate at work.  She works in a nearby cubicle and we often talk diets and food plans.  We have a lot in common except that she has spent her life battling 15 lbs while I spent mine battling 150lbs.

Yet, her pain and struggle is just as big and real as mine, I can tell!

One day she said to me “I could never do Keto because I love bread too much and I can’t live without desserts”

Are you thinking this too?

Well I’m here to tell you that some of the keto breads and desserts are aaahhhhmazing!

So right here and now we are going to go through all the common comfort foods I can think of and I will list out the Keto and low carb swaps that you can make!

  1. Hi! I love how informative and great your articles are. Can you recommend a List of Citrus Fruits or blogs that go over the same topics? Thanks a lot!

    1. Sorry, I don’t know of any like that. Citrus fruits are not keto or low carb so I generally don’t follow such things. I would just google it!
