Just remember as you use these in recipes, that you need to be mindful of what phase of the diet you are in. Since I’m on Atkins I will refer to Atkins. A lot of these baked goods are not good for you if you are in the induction phase. You can have them once in a while, but it’s better to stick to meat, cheese, and eggs! Of course, I’m in my 40s my friend that is in her early 30s has no trouble with adding baked goods to her diet and hasn’t dropped out of ketosis. So I think age and level of activity may be a factor.
