If you are like me and enjoy a hot dog every now and then, or at least once a week, don’t let the thought of being Keto or low carb deter you. There are now numerous low carb and keto-friendly options available as well as products on the market today making dieting or living it as a lifestyle possible. You just have to read the labels, but more importantly listen to and read your own body in order to do what’s healthy and good for you.
Before starting a low carb, keto, and sugar-free diet and even with the possibility of making it a permanent lifestyle change, I decided to enlist the invaluable help of others to achieve a certain outcome–that is, to lose weight by making dietary changes, to break free of my own sugar addiction by riding off of their success stories, reveling from their personal experiences, and their wealth of knowledge shared and shining through their recipes.
What their recipes have proven to me is that you can eat better and healthier when you don’t limit your diet to eating only processed and refined foods that may be bad for you. Also, that low carb, sugar-free and/or keto eaters are still able to enjoy some of their favorite foods like pastas, hot dogs, others and not to mention desserts too (e.g. like low carb and sugar-free chocolates at thegoalz.com).
Anyway, I was super thrilled to be able to enjoy something as simple as eating a hotdog though it was without a white bun having made this absolutely flavorful Keto Corn Muffin recipe by Wholesome Yum with a wiener poking out. 🙂 However, don’t sweat the bread, as low carb breads and buns are still readily available by certain food and bread manufacturers like hero.co.
