If you've ever tried the keto diet, you will know the dietary restrictions can be extremely rough when you don't know what to snack on. No carbs, no sugar... what else is there to eat? Prior to contrary belief, being keto does not mean you need to eat only meat every single day.

In fact, protein should only make up about half of your diet. Instead, being keto means eating more fat. Yes, fat. It's not always a bad thing to consume fat, which is why the diet works. Finding good substitutes for snacks can be a little challenging, however, I've found a few that really seem to keep me full for longer periods of time.

1. String cheese.

It's a good thing that cheese is keto, otherwise, I'd be doomed. My go-to snack for when I'm in a rush is a Sargento sharp cheddar cheese stick. These don't get old.

2. Nuts.

Although certain nuts can be extremely high in carbs (peanuts, cashews), there is a large portion of them that are fairly low (almonds, cashews). Just enough for the perfect snack.

3. Vegetable-based chips.

They obviously aren't as tasty as a flamin' hot bag of Cheetos, but a kale chip can end up being just as satisfying when you know how much better it is for you.

4. Low-carb snack bars.

Although some of the "healthy" snack bars have more carbs than you can imagine, there are even snack bars made specifically for keto. These would be your best option, plus, they do keep you full for hours.

5. Sugar-free Jell-o or Popsicles.

I stocked up on all the sugar-free snacks when I first started the diet. Sometimes a Popsicle hits the spot perfectly.

6. Olives.

I know that not everyone likes olives, but I love them. So, this is the perfect snack for me. I can finish a whole can of black olives in one sitting with no shame. You should try it sometime.

7. Jalapeño Poppers.

Meat, cheese and jalapeños. They aren't that difficult to make and they prove to be great for a movie night snack, IMO.

8. Charcuterie Boards.

Make yourself a fancy display of different cold-cuts and cheeses and you'll be more intrigued to eat it. Try some new varieties each time to spice things up a bit!

9. Hard-boiled eggs.

My personal preference is a soft-boiled egg. Either way, these make delicious snacks. Putting some chipotle spice on top can really add more pizzaz.

10. Fruits.

As long as you don't overdo the fruits, nobody said eating fruit on keto was a bad thing. Keep the sugar content low and you should be fine.

11. Almond Butter.

Eating a spoonful can be fun sometimes, but even dipping celery in almond butter is just as yummy.

12. Guacamole.

One of the most popular keto food items is avocado and what's better than a giant bowl of guac? Find some cucumbers for dipping and enjoy!

13. Beef Jerky.

I'm not a personal fan of this one but I know lots of people that would die for some jerky right now. It's the perfect keto snack, and you won't feel bad eating the whole bag.

14. Lox.

One of my all-time favorites, salmon. Especially the sushi-grade kind. Pair this with some cream cheese if you please and you're all set.

15. Moon Cheese.

You can find these in your local Whole Foods, but moon cheese is basically chips made only from cheese. So you can feel guilt-free as you snack on them!

Although it can be hard to pass up the Hershey's in CVS, just think about all the health benefits you're getting from eating the way you do!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
