- Alternative sweeteners – Swerve, XyloSweet, or Monk fruit granules

From the list could you tell me which are the fats I should concentrate on eating to make sure i am doing the 75% for the challenge?
Hi Maria! The fats can come from whichever foods fit best into your lifestyle! We love healthy fats from avocados, grass-fed butter and beef, coconut oil… but it’s totally up to you. As you get more familiar with keto foods throughout the challenge, you’ll come to know which fats you prefer and how to easily incorporate them into your diet. And if you ever think you’re not getting enough, you’ve got to try some of our tasty fat bomb recipes! https://hip2keto.com/?s=fat+bombs
It’s hard to make adaptations to this with a severe tree-nut allergy (anaphylactic), meaning not almond flour to make things from scratch. There are other good things to try on this list.
Hi Kimberly! There are a couple more options over on this list –> https://hip2keto.com/tips/gluten-free-keto-flours-recipes/
