Keto Update - Keto Strips, Stevia and New Staple Meals!
We’re still loving our Keto lifestyle! I’ve had a few setbacks where I consumed more sugar than I would have liked but I always bounce back. It’s one of those things where I may not feel like making a Keto dessert so I grab a regular one instead. This lifestyle does take effort and dedication to make sure you always have your staples on hand and cooking Keto friendly meals. If you’ve missed my previous posts about starting this new health journey I’ll add the links at the end of this post ;)
My sister in law told me about these Keto strips! They track ketones in your urine and tell you if there are small or large traces of it. This is something that is good for me especially with the drawbacks I’ve been dealing with. It’s good to keep track and make sure my body is in ketosis. These strips are very affordable and can be purchased from your nearest pharmacy or through Amazon.
Soda is one of my biggest temptations. It was one of the hardest things to let go of and still I get tempted . However my sister in law (if you haven’t noticed yet she is my accountability partner and also the one that introduced this lifestyle to me) also told me about Zevia! It is a zero calorie, zero sugar soda that Keto dieters love!! My husband and I gave them a shot and we liked them. It took some getting used to but I think this will be a good replacement for us when we are craving soda. They have a lot of flavors to choose from at the Wholefoods we get our staples from.
This is a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole that gives you the enjoyment of a cheeseburger without the bread. My family keeps asking me to make it! I am really impressed with how great this casserole tastes and I didn’t even miss the bun :D
I found the recipe on Pinterest!
I have to thank @birdsinparadise for this staple! She posted this Keto recipe for an Apple Smoked Brisket Pocket and I just had to try it!
Instead of brisket I used grilled chicken...
Here’s a shot of the onions and mushrooms simmering...
These pockets were so tasty that we had them two days in a row!! 😁😋
I’ll continue to keep you posted on how this new lifestyle is coming along. So far we love it and the health benefits have been amazing!

When I started my Lyme diet, I was craving for sugar! I was okay without the sodas, but chocolate or cakes, that was another story. I replaced sugar with Stevia, Xylitol but I wasn't quite happy. First one had and after taste, the second was pricy. Thus I learnt how to live without it for a few good years. Then I got off the wagon ;0) I gotta read more about Keto, you got me intrigued!
I hear ya on the cakes! It is so hard resisting cookies and cakes. Now I just make my own keto deserts :)
Wow that’s awesome that you were able to be done with sugar altogether! I think you will like what you read!!! It has really changed our health for the better! I hope you can find help from it and that it could add to your diet!
Glad to hear, that apart from small bumps in the road your doing so well on Keto, I haven't tried it myself but I do know many that have and swear by it as a lifestyle choice
Thanks so much! It has really been a great lifestyle change for my family.
Thats great and glad it is working well for you all :)
I am so proud of you @crosheille! You're doing so well with this, love the commitment to your health :) That casserole looks amazing, so glad you are enjoying the keto "bread" option :)
