That "keto-friendly" snack you just bought? It might be sabotaging your progress.

For years, the keto industry has exploded with products labeled "low carb," "keto approved," and "guilt-free." But here's what they're not telling you: many of these foods can spike your blood sugar just as much as regular junk food.

Here's the truth: fancy marketing doesn't mean it's actually supporting your metabolism. Net carbs, sugar alcohols, and ingredient manipulation are designed to trick you, not help you lose weight.
In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on "fake keto" foods and showing you exactly how to spot the marketing tricks that keep you stuck.

Here's what we cover:

The truth behind net carb calculations and why they can be misleading

How sugar alcohols like maltitol secretly spike blood sugar and stall fat loss

Ingredient red flags that wreck your gut and slow your metabolism

How to read keto labels like a pro and avoid getting fooled

Which low-carb foods actually support your weight loss goals

Real keto vs. marketed keto: what your body actually needs

This isn't about being perfect or restrictive. It's about understanding what you're really eating so you can make choices that actually move you forward.

If you've been doing "keto" but not seeing results (or dealing with digestive issues), this episode will explain why.
