Definitely a Keto if you can
control yourself
Early on in my exploration of keto we had close friends and neighbours who were doing keto the legit way. We had them over and in trying to impress them I made these bacon wrapped dates stuffed with almond and feta. A big flavour hit with our guests to be sure. I asked a naive question “Do these qualify as keto?”. The reply was a resounding “Sorta!”. They have a reasonable carb count per portion so you can still have them when “doing keto” you just have to remember the first law of eating well – Moderation in all things. This of course if modified by Dave’s corollary – Moderation in all things including Moderation.
Try to be good when eating keto but also remember you need to be good to yourself.
