Also broth. You can buy broth, make broth, or use powders/cubes, read ingredients carefully.

At first I had a hard time drinking water (I was used to hydrating with diet soda and I was trying to be very strict keto before trying artificial sweeteners).

I found I like warm/hot water with salt. Sometimes I also buy chicken bone broth from Winco (so very good). I’d put an inch or two in my 24 oz mug, add some pink Himalayan salt and fill the rest with hot water and sip on it.

Also, Bigelow Mint Medley herbal tea. It tastes naturally sweet to me and I don’t have to add anything to it. Although I sometimes add a curl of lemon peel (or orange peel, if I’m at my sister’s house) for variety and freshness. Celestial seasonings Bengal Spice herbal tea is also good. It’s a caffeine free chai.

As you adopt a Keto lifestyle your body will be healing and will be cleaner, making you more subseptable to any chemicals / artificial sweeteners than pre-Keto.

Look through your consumption, usually very easy to find the culprits as it will be some type of drink or processed food or supplement.

Just weed out the rat poison.
