ok. Nobody answered your questions about where to go to find XXX.
Check out this site: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/
they have a gazillion forums on every kind of subset of low-carb diet you can imagine.
And they have a huge repository of recipe’s. I heard they were going to close up the site though in June…
Yes, I’m in that subgroup due to being in food addiction remission.
( I do use 85% chocolate and I have a teeny bit of stevia in my natural calm magnesium product daily).
I have very few binge urges this way. I’m also strict dairy free instruction nut free and eliminated most emulsifiers
Different people respond differently to these sweeteners. They don’t affect me at all, none of them. For others, they cause mayhem, which is why so many people say to avoid them.
The only metric I see used commonly is the glycemic index:
Perfect!! Thank you Karl @IceNine
This answers my question 100 x better than I could even have asked it! 
Do you think that link/ table could be made a resource / “sticky” thing on the forum as a go-to resource for sweeteners? I think it’s an amazing overview.
I don’t know about a specific “version” of keto that uses no sweeteners at all - but I do not use them. Over time your tastes adapt to not having sweet. For example when making a keto electrolyte lemonade - I simply left out the sweetener and find it delicious. Especially when mixed with a non sweetened sparkling water. I don’t drink coffee but I have matcha - which I always thought needed sweetener even more than coffee but I have gotten used to it. I am also on an AIP diet so am limited to coconut products to add fat to my matcha which I think does help as even coconut oil has a little natural sweet taste to it. This morning I had a “bulletproof” matcha tea with 3 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 tablespoons coconut milk - which contains only 0.5carbs and lots of good fats. It was delicious too!
Yeah, I’ve seen that video. I enjoy Keto Connect, and this is a cool video because they test their glucose reactions, but they really like their artificial sweeteners. Also, that fake syrup 
I know people love it but I grew up at a sugar house so it just bothers me. Matt must be the kind of southern boy who likes that classic sweet sweet tea because he puts like 40 drops of stevia in everything.
Dearborn, MI. Went to school in the UP (upper peninsula). I think he got a job out of college in Ohio, then moved to San Francisco where he met Megha on Plenty of Fish (or maybe OKCupid).
Great information, I see that raw Honey has a glycemic index of 50 which is considered low, anything above 70 is high so I’m happy to read that.
I am glad to read that too as I use a little raw honey or pure maple syrup (54) in my one cuppa coffee too! 
You know what I wonder but had never considered before? If the different grades of maple syrup make a difference? I mean, they’re all cooked to the same density and sugar content (more or less) but fancy grade/grade A is pulled from earlier sap that has higher initial sugar content then kitchen grade/grade B (personal favorite).
After a quick google it seems that there is no significant difference, even though the cooking times may vary they all end at the same point of buoyancy/density so essentially the same. Minerals are nutrients inherent in the syrup appear unaffected by the evaporation process, or by reverse osmosis (where water is pulled from the sap before boiling to shorten the boiling process, usually yields a greater quantity of grade A syrup, which typically is the most desired variety.) I find that hard to believe, I would think some of the micro-nutrients are removed through the osmosis filter but can’t say not knowing.
I’m just going to stick to Grade B and not worry about it too much. What I have learned is that any difference is likely nominal and within typical syrup variation.
I do no sugar alcohols, and no fruits or berries. The only sugar my body gets is the tiny amounts found in some veggies and sunflower seeds.
@youngcj190 I live in NH and a co-worker of mine sells the syrup from her (husband’s) family’s sugar house. A little goes a long way and I don’t see the need to give it up.
I belong to a Facebook group called Common Sense Keto. They do very strict keto, no artificial sweeteners (even Stevia), three meals per day, no snacks, and they do not restrict calories. I was stalled for 7 weeks following other keto suggestions. After implementing their advice, I am losing again. I highly suggest this group.
I quit drinking diet coke/coke 0 about a week ago. It was sooooooooo hard to quit - I was definitely addicted. I don’t know what makes it so addictive (don’t think it is the caffeine because I drink coffee) I still think about drinking one every now and then but I’m determined not to. I’ve decided for now to eliminate all artificial sweeteners. After listening to the book Obesity Code, it finally clicked with me to quit. If I ever get to my goal, I’ll probably want to occasionally have some keto friendly desserts, not sure if I will use something like swerve or just honey.
