Colleen like parmesan crisps as well.

If you can’t keep your sweet appetite in check, try Reese’s sugar-free peanut butter mini sandwiches. Keep in mind that they contain maltitol, so keep your amounts in check! Lily’s chocolate bars, for example, are stevia-flavored chocolates.

7. How about a piece of toffee? Have a keto bar on hand.

These low-protein, high-fat snacks have a caramel flavor. They have a delectable taste and texture that our employees can’t get enough of, and they come in five luscious varieties. We really like these keto bars, which fulfill a chocolate need without adding sugar.

8. Do you want your fries to be crispy? Pig skins chosen from 4505 Meats.

Even if you’ve never liked pig rinds before, you should give this brand a try. Unlike other brands, which sometimes have extremely hard bits in the bag, their chicharrones are light and airy with just the right amount of crunch. Colleen is a huge fan of them.

Treat yourself to a few of these substitute foods and you’ll be surprised at how similar they taste to the real thing. Of course, for the best results, you should make these substitutions for real, instead of opting for the convenient low-carb products that many grocery stores and restaurants offer..
