all sugar cravings.

The glycemic index is a scale from 1 to 100

that measures the impact certain foods have on your blood sugar. On this scale, sweeteners at 0 would have no impact on blood sugar and sweeteners at 100 would have a full blood sugar spike.

When we are following a ketogenic diet, we want to prevent any spikes in blood sugar so that we maintain a stable and steady blood glucose level at all times. When we eat foods that are too high on the glycemic index, we create a spike in our blood sugar that ultimately knocks us out of ketosis and turns us back into a carb- burner.

If you get knocked out of ketosis at any point, it’s no big deal. This can happen after eating a cheat meal. The key is to get right back on track.

While it can take a few days to fully transition back into a state of ketosis (where your liver is producing ketones), cheating doesn’t have to derail your weight- loss progress.
