Keto Rub??

no sugar. I do keto too and use this on everything from steaks to pork ribs, even chicken. Great flavor and no sugar.

Of course, good old course sea salt, black pepper and garlic is perfect for keto too.

I know Keto is no sugar, but the amount of sugar listed on the package of most rubs for nutrition info is 0. We were still using regular rubs for keto. However, Naturiffic has several no sugar rubs, and there are others too. I use a lot of Oakridge rub too.

Here is a whole 30/paleo rub with no sugar:

The amount of sugar in rubs is negligent in regards to ketogenic diets.

It's not a big deal to continue using the same rubs as the content of the sugar is negligible in the terms of the entire plate of food you would have.

Your only issue going forward is that you might find these rubs taste too sweet for you as your taste changes.

While you are at it... check out our Keto thread.

It's a good long read now which might help you a bit.

Cheers!

Ive been doing keto for a year now. Always make my own rubs usually some form of Kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, onion and garlic, and cayenne. I even add a touch of sugar at times it doesn’t take much once you get your taste buds back to normal. For beef I leave out the paprika, cayenne and sugar.

Good luck on the diet your going to feel so much better and will wish you started it sooner.

The General Purpose rub has some suger, but doesn't taste sweet. This is my favorite all around rub. https://madhunkymeats.com/

Naturiffic Q-Salt!



(All our other seasonings are sugar free as well!)

Salt/pepper/garlic/cumin/cayenne is my go to rub.

Huh? Sugar is listed as the 4th ingredient in Cow Cover. While the sugar content might not be substantial there is absolutely sugar in the rub.

@IceTech, I've done KETO / Paleo for a while now and a few months ago did a Whole 30. The best way to control what you eat is to make everything from scratch. While this is a bit tough at first it's really the only way you can know for sure what you're eating. A KETO BBQ rub is super simple to make:

1. Start with a 50/50 blend of salt and black pepper.
2. Add some onion powder and garlic powder (if you like those things).
3. Start adding in your favorite spice; jalapeno powder, chipotle powder, cayenne powder, etc.. Add a bit, stir, taste...keep repeating until you like the amount of heat in the rub.
4. Start adding "earthy" elements a bit by bit to balance things out (optional of course). Things like mustard powder, celery seed (must be pulverized or crushed) or celery salt, Hungarian paprika.

This has worked very well for me and it's super simple and relatively inexpensive. As you keep on doing KETO your taste buds will change, so you can always alter the rub by adding a bit more heat or earthy notes to please the palate.

Good luck on KETO and sorry to hear about the health issues. Sugar will be the death of us all...that rotten stuff is hiding in just about everything we eat from cradle to grave.

Yeah, it's tough...even though the sugar is listed as "0 grams" there's still sugar in the rub. There's TONS of this kind of stuff when declaring ingredients and nutritional content. Tic-Tac's, for instance, say they have zero sugar but are made MOSTLY of sugar. But each piece is less than 1/2 of a gram, so they can list it as "0 sugars" on the nutritional label.

I learned a lot about this madness when I was doing the Whole 30 (basically 30 days of no sugar, no grain, no processed foods). It was definitely eye opening in how sugar is snuck into just about everything we eat.

that is crazy. I caught the same thing when I bought a bottle of Siracha sauce. On the nutrition it says 0 sugar but sugar is listed as the 4th ingredient. You are right. They sneak sugar in everywhere. Just make sure you look at ingredients as well as nutrition label.
