Our Low Carb BBQ Pulled Pork<\/strong> is so juicy and tender, it’ll make your mouth water! We make this keto BBQ pulled pork in a slow cooker, but you can make it in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot too! It’s ridiculously easy to make and it’ll soon become a family favorite! <\/p>\n

Before going keto, a common breakfast for your Keto Queens was a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of juice. Or maybe a bagel with a glass of milk. They sound like pretty healthy breakfasts, right? But what we didn\u2019t realize was the \u201chidden sugar effect<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or we\u2019d head to a summer pool party and chow down on a pulled BBQ beef sandwich with extra sauce, an ear of corn, a few slices of fresh tomato, and a wedge of fresh watermelon. We might as well have been eating sugar by the spoonful without even realizing it!<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201chidden sugar effect\u201d is when carbohydrates convert to sugar when digested. You don’t see the sugar, but your body does. <\/span><\/p>\n

Basically, when you eat foods high in carbs, like BBQ sauce or a bowl of sugary cereal, it effects you the way teaspoons of sugar would. Whether sugar comes from toast and juice or a bowl of ice cream, it has the same effect on your body\u2019s blood sugar!<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, did you know that a bagel has the same \u201chidden sugar effect\u201d on your blood sugar levels as eight teaspoons of sugar? And one 8-ounce glass of orange juice has the same \u201chidden sugar effect\u201d as five teaspoons of sugar!<\/span><\/p>\n

And any excess sugar in your bloodstream that isn\u2019t used as energy is stored as fat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it\u2019s overeating these carbs that raise and drop your blood sugar <\/span>levels, making you crave more and sending you into a blood sugar rollercoaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a low carb or keto-friendly lifestyle isn\u2019t about giving up everything you love! It\u2019s about making smart swaps. Easy choices that seems small, but really add up. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"keto<\/p>\n

For example, making a<\/span> homemade <\/strong>Sugar Free BBQ Sauce<\/strong><\/span><\/a> instead of using regular BBQ sauce. Taking five minutes to whip up a homemade <\/span>Strawberry Low Carb Ice Cream<\/a><\/strong> as a summer dessert instead of diving into a pint. Meal prepping on weekends to help you avoid the drive-through on busy weekdays. Or when you don\u2019t have time to meal prep, choosing an Atkins product.<\/span><\/p>\n
