On a standard diet, I couldn’t eat sweets as a diabetic. But on a keto diet I can! I make strawberry cheesecake fatbombs, peanut butter fatboms drizzled with chocolate, and if you make almond flou4 keto nreas, and add a little bit of lemon extract, you have a lemon pound cake that you can frost with cream cheese whipped and lightened up with a little whipping cream and your favorite keto sweetner.
I have a recipe for keto pancakes that are to die for! I do add some ground flax seed to it and I use a sugar free maple syrup.
I made a delicious mock potato salad using cauliflower. Course I add the dill(fermented kind) pickles, onions, bell peppers, bouled eggs, mustard and mayo.
I don’t at all feel deprived on this diet. I can even have pizza!
When I think of what I CAN have, I don’t feel deprived at all, especially since I can eat as much as it take for fill my tummy and feel satiated.
I might have been able to have a sliver of pizza on the standard diet, and feel guilty if I ate what it took to fill me. I don’t have a huge appetite, but a 2 inch piece of pizza that leaves me hungry isnty idea of not feeling deprived.
Now I can have chocolate cake that isn’t going to kill me.
The ADA can take it’s recommendation and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
