We were told that Hebrew National were the hot dogs to use.

Subject: Splenda and the Keto Diet

What has anyone been told about use of products containing Splenda

with the Keto Diet. I picked up some Unsweetened Mott's applesauce

and noticed it contained Splenda. Has anyone been told the

effects? We are very new to the diet, 1 week.

Also, the Mayer Beef s that are allowed in the Keto

book. I noticed when I picked up a package they show to contain

Dextrose. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, did you just

switch types or is there not enough to cause a setback.

loves hotdogs and sometimes that is a quick meal to prepare but we

don't want to provide the wrong ones.

Thanks, JANA

I am pretty sure most will say Splenda is ok in some forms, as in food and diet

drinks. The powdered form is a no-no. As for Mayer beef franks, we have

used them from day one with no problems.

Love,

Steph

Jana,

I haven't seen the Mott's applesauce with Splenda. We use

unsweetened applesauce (no sweeteners). Splenda would maybe add 1-

2g. carb?? so I think it could fit into your meals. We have used

Splenda in all forms with no problems. We were not allowed to use it

at the very beginning of the diet because our dietician was

still " researching " it's potential effects. Now she says she lets

most kids use it from the start. She feels it is very keto friendly

and as safe as we can know at this point. A few kids are sensitive

to it, though, so just be careful and aware of anything unusual. We

have also used aspartame, acesulfame-K and stevia.

We used the OM hot dogs, but didn't like them as much as Hebrew

National and 's. I think the amount of dextrose is very

small. The dextrose itself isn't a problem, but you want to " save "

your carb allowance for healthier things like veggies.
