When you set out to do the high-fat, low-carb keto diet, you may be worried about all the delicious things you can’t eat anymore, but fear not. There are so many options available to keto dieters, and one of them is fathead dough, which you can use to make keto-friendly pizza, bagels, and more. Unlike traditional doughs made with wheat and grains, this one is made with almond meal, cheese, and eggs.
Fathead dough can help you curb your cravings for the foods you miss most, which in turn could help you be more successful on the keto diet. By allowing yourself to find alternatives for your keto-forbidden favorites, you may not be as irritated with having to stick to a restrictive diet (at least this has always been my experience with dieting!).
However, just because you can have a keto-friendly pizza in your life, that doesn’t mean you should be eating it all the time. Vanessa Fry, a registered dietitian at Detroit Medical Center’s Harper Bariatric Medical Institute, told POPSUGAR that like with any food, fathead dough should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
