I’m keto now for about 7 weeks. I’m crutching with diet soda, but eventually plan on reducing it drastically to an occasional drink. I did a lot of research and listened to a lot of podcasts before making this change and so knew to avoid the Ace-K sweeteners. It’s in so many things.
My goto has always been Diet Mountain Dew, which I had to give up because of the Ace-K.
I’ll mention one other mainstream soda that isn’t in the list that I’ve found - Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper.
Aside from that - check the store brand labels.
The Kroger brand (BigK) version of Diet Mountain Dew (Diet Citris Drop), Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Orange, and Diet Cherry Coke do not yet have Ace-K listed in their ingredients.
I have also looked at a lot of the squeezable water enhancers. Many of these are sucralose with Ace-K. Pretty much all the Mio ones are. But again, keep looking and you’ll find some without - Orange/Tangerine, Lemonade, Tea - in walmart store brand flavors do not have Ace-K. Walmart has a “Chocolate Tea” flavor without Ace-K which is divine in bulletproof coffee, or in a bowl of whipped cream for dessert. These “water enhancers” are also good in plain greek yogurt.
All the powders seem to have maltodextrin.
I still need to do an n=1 to try and see how these sweeteners affect me. I’m overweight but not metabolically broken (not sure about fasting insulin levels though). So as long as I’m seeing progress, I’m not too worried yet.
Keto on my friends.
