Why it fits or not
- - Lactose is high enough to affect the carb limit quickly.
- - Added sugar makes the product much worse for keto.
- - Lower fat leaves less room for lactose and carbs.
How to fit it into keto
- - Choose full-fat versions when possible.
- - Avoid low-fat products if carbs or starches are higher.
- - Use a keto dessert or sweetener instead of sweet dairy.
When to keep it smaller
- - Do not count dairy as carb-free just because it is unsweetened.
- - Avoid added sugar, syrups, fruit fillings, and sweet toppings.
