Can You Eat Sugar-Free Pudding on Keto?

When eating keto, it is essential for the foods you choose to be low in carbohydrates to keep you in ketosis. A good low-carb chocolate pudding should be made with a natural sugar substitute that does not raise your glycemic index.

Focus on the net carbs in a serving size to keep consistent with your diet.
