Did you cut out sugar completely? I’m trying to substitute stevia, organic honey and blue agave. I also eat peanut butter for protein. Wondering if these products are as inflammatory as refined sugar ?

I went on a pretty strict keto diet for about 2 years. I could not go into keto because I had no energy at the low amount of carbs required. Carbs turn to sugar so the idea is limit as much sugar as possible. Stevia was considered the best sweetner. Most artificial sweetners were not recommended due to processing. Honey is nothing but sugar. Even organic. Peanut butter was a good snack. I like peanut butter. But 2 tablespoons of PB has about 5gm of carbs. Then what do you put the PB on? Ritz cracker? That blows it. Celery was my next choice. One stalk has about 1gm. Plus the 5gm of PB. You have eaten 7gm of your 20gm for the day. ughhh. It was too much for me.

Forgot to mention blue agave. It has 16gm of carbs plus 16gm of sugar per serving. Not a good choice. The tequila due to distillation has zero carbs or sugar. Drink away.
