Morning Pep Pure Birch Xylitol

Image
I have been on a keto low carb lifestyle for over a year now, and I have learned so much about what foods will keep me in ketosis and still satisfy my tastebuds.  I have used countless sugar substitutes and let me tell you, they are not all created equally.  Some are actually higher on the glycemic index than sugar!!!  Others are great for keto, but really don't taste very good.  I was surprised how well Morning Pep xylitol placed on the glycemic index scale, especially since it actually tastes great!
