How do they vary from region to region?
You call them cheesesteaks?
I don't know about Pat, but I'm pretty sure that Geno doesn't have one(unless Geno's a Tranny).

Sounds awesome! I'll come over!
Wow More hidden carbs, Anything else I need to watch out for?
Beware: deceptive sweeteners
Do you know that some products with labels that identify them as "zero-calorie" sweeteners are almost 100% carbs?
Beware of Stevia in the Raw, Equal, Sweet'n Low and Splenda packets. They are labeled "zero calories" but they are not.
The FDA allows products with less than 1 gram of carbs and less than 4 calories per serving to be labeled "zero calories". So manufacturers cleverly package about 0.9 grams of pure carbs (glucose/dextrose) mixed with a small dose of a more powerful artificial sweetener.
The labels reel in the consumer and satisfy the authorities. But the packages in fact contain almost 4 calories each, and almost a gram of carbs. On a keto diet that can quickly add up. Don't be conned; don't consume.
Ditch them for their deceptive marketing alone. Some of the artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, also have lingering health concerns.
These concerns are mainly based on the results of animal experiments conducted over many years:
Nutrition Reviews 2017: Revisiting the safety of aspartame [overview article; ungraded]
Advances in Nutrition 2019: Effects of sweeteners on the gut microbiota: a review of experimental studies and clinical trials [overview article; ungraded]
Frontiers in Physiology 2017: Gut microbiome response to sucralose and its potential role in inducing liver inflammation in mice [mouse study; very weak evidence]

You're welcome in Texas, too! I don't claim any special cooking prowess, but our hometown BBQ joint is on just about every food critics "best" list. They have Texas Twinkies on weekends! VERY Keto friendly: (large jalapeño stuffed with brisket and cream cheese; wrapped in premium thick cut bacon).

A girl "may" want to try Atkins, just because of the Rob Lowe commercial. He is cute. AND you can eat some fruit, too he says.
