One of the best things about a keto diet is that is doesn’t require you to ignore your sweet tooth. If you have been eating desserts your whole life, you will more likely than not be mentally triggered to eat something sweet after dinner even when you are on a diet.
However, when you enter a state of ketosis you will find that your craving for sugar will diminish significantly. You don’t have to stick to eating fruits for sweetness as there are plenty of awesome keto recipes that are super easy to make. What’s more, you can find substitute keto recipes for your favorite desserts that won’t knock you out of ketosis.
No-bake keto recipes are perfect for times when you don’t have the time or patience to prepare baked desserts.
When the goal is to cut down on carbs and eliminate sugar from your diet you may be wondering how desserts which involve sugar fit into a keto diet? Thanks to a wide variety of keto-friendly ingredients such as alternative sweeteners, dark chocolate, nut flours, and, of course, lots of butter, you can enjoy a fudge brownie or a slice of cake that tastes just the same as any other sweet food.
To survive on a ketogenic diet you will need a good index of keto fat bombs that not only taste great but help you reach your daily fat macros – which is very important on a keto diet. Keto friendly deserts can also serve as Fat Bombs which make this diet deliciously sustainable.
