Mike and I are both still going strong on the keto diet. We are both down over 25 pounds and feel amazing. However, as with most lifestyle changes, challenges arise.
To prevent boredom and increase variety, I’m constantly scoping out products at my jewel-osco. My latest purchase,

Keto Challenges
Switching to a low-carb lifestyle has been extremely rewarding for us. Aside from the weight loss, we both feel better overall. My blood sugar is now stable, and my mental health has drastically improved. Mike’s blood pressure is loads better, and his joint pain is completely gone.
Because we intend on eating this way indefinitely, we have to face any challenges head on. Here are some of the hurdles we’ve faced and how to handle them.
Boredom
When you make a change in your diet, it’s easy to get into a rut and eat the same things over and over again. I’m extremely guilty of this.
There’s no need for Groundhog Day when it comes to keto meals. People can eat from almost all food groups and if you’re craving something, there’s most likely an alternative.
Experiment with recipes, buy different foods, and keep an eye out when you’re strolling the aisles of jewel-osco. Always try new foods and snacks to keep things interesting. Don’t forget to hit up the nutritional supplement section—that’s where I found Atkin Shakes!
Convenience Food
Listen, I am not a person that likes to be in the kitchen all day. We have to have convenient food and snack options in this household. If everything we eat requires a ton of preparation, it’s not going to work out.
Atkins Shakes are an excellent household staple. The creamy, filling, and delicious shakes are so versatile that I can’t believe we didn’t have them on hand sooner.
The shakes are good for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and even dessert. The
To-go Food Options
Mike leaves for work at all hours of the day. His schedule is all over the place. On early mornings, he’s rushing out the door with no time for breakfast.
Since he works so hard, skipping breakfast is not an option for him. Enter
Keto Desserts
Two people with gigantic sweet teeth stop eating sugar—what? Keto dessert options are a must to keep us interested.
Thankfully, the shelves of jewel-osco are stocked with items to create low-carb sweets and treats.

How to Make Keto Whipped Cream
It’s beyond easy to whip up some homemade keto whipped cream.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon erythritol
- Mix heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Add sweetener and mix on medium speed.
- You can add more flavor by using extracts, but I like the 2-ingredient option. Should you choose to add an extract, mix it in slowly after the sweetener.

Oh this rocks! I definitely like the idea of having some low-carb options handy for those cravings.
I love this idea to use the protein drink to make a milkshake! I have a friend that drinks protein shakes every day, I’ll have to suggest this to her.
I love how portable the premade Atkins shakes are. They definitely make keto easier to stick to!
These would be great for packing for trips. That way you have something to eat when you are hungry.
Yum I’ve had these shakes and I really enjoyed them.The whipped cream is a wonderful addition I will have to give it a try!
Congrats on your weight loss. I am glad that the Keto plan is working out for you. I love the Atkins shakes and they do taste delicious for those who have never tried it before. I would advise to drink these shakes cold.
Keto whipped cream was the first thing I made when I went keto. It surely helps to satisfy the sweet tooth I always had!
These sound delicious. I need to check these out, I am doing low carb. I think I will check out the ingredients next time I go to the grocery store.
Boredom can definitely throw you off your goal of healthy eating. This looks like a great option.
Love the idea of the whipped cream! Very good idea and looks delicious. I hear these are great shakes!
I love Keto! The results are fantastic. Congrats to you both. This recipe looks delicious and so easy to make too.
I had no idea that you could make Keto whipped cream! That whole shake looks delicious
This looks really delicious.
I like the idea of making my own whipped cream!
I’ve heard about the Keto diet and sounds so good. Thanks for this awesome idea!
This looks absolutely delicious to consume. This is going to be good for kids and for adults also. Keto is my jam.
i’m not on the keto diet but i do drink atkins shakes as i have GP and i’m a WLS pt as well. It get complicated lol. I love the taste and you can add them to a lot of different recipes.
I am trying to do keto but kind of can’t keep up with it. Maybe if I used atkins to help me keep my carbs under control it would be easier!
I need to make some keto desserts. We are trying to do low carb but my husband is really missing sweets.
I think I might love these shakes. They seem to be really smoothie-like. Looks great. I am going to try one to see how they taste. Chocolate flavor is a huge plus.
I like Atkins products and my hubs and I are planning to go on a low carb diet after the summer. These shakes sound great and would love to try them!
My son and I are doing Keto! I can’t wait to try these! We’re always looking for different snacks!
I am so happy there are products on the market fitting more and more dietary needs! This is gonna be great for anyone on the keto diet!
