KETO PECAN PIE FUDGE
This recipe is a little different today, as I’ve been dabbling with ketogenic recipes. A recipe that calls for a brick of butter?? Go on….
A pecan pie fudge recipe… that’s also low carb? How can that be? Enter, the ketogenic diet.
Basically, the ketogenic diet is super-ultra low carb and super high-fat. Like, no fruit no starchy veggies low carb, and all things bacon and butter. Macros on a ketogenic diet look something like this: 70% fats, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrate.
People report all sorts of benefits of the ketogenic diet- including weight loss, blood sugar regulation, increased mental focus, and is even used to control childhood epilepsy.
There is no sugar on a keto diet (not even honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar!). But, there is a product called Swerve out there that claims to be just as good as sugar… with no carbs and no calories.
