Other than rice (and sometimes potato) you can usually substitute many ingredients. For sugar, look at using allulose/monkfruit; allulose itself is only 70% as sweet as sugar, so it needs a filler and allulose/monkfruit generally has no issues for most people. Erythritol can give people stomach issues, and also has a weird cooling sensation. Xylitol is possible, but only if you do not have pets as it is poisonous to them. Stevia is okay, but has an aftertaste most people do not like. For bread, you can look at using alternative low carb flours. Almond flour and coconut flour are some of the most common, but I also use flax meal for flavor and texture (especially in pancakes and waffles). For rice and potatoes, if you reheat them from the fridge/freezer they will not spike your sugar as much, but it is still best to stay within a reasonable carb limit. Potatoes can be replaced with parsnip, turnip and cauliflower, but it never truly replaces it and it's fine to eat rice and potatoes within moderation. Many fruits are generally fine, especially berries which are low in carbs and have a low glycemic index. It is only recommended to only have half an apple (or pear), but I do fine with a whole one because I don't completely hate myself. Bananas are generally avoided due to how much starch they have, but if you're baking with them, it is generally fine in moderation. Look for keto or low carb on Amazon, and you can usually find replacements for most things like honey, syrup, chocolate and many candies. I generally avoid ones that use Maltitol as that causes the most issues for most people (sugar free gummy bear fiasco for example).

I love watching this battle, with the memories of the earlier Ultimate battles. It's such a clear example of how the lads have come a long way. With little planning, they've pulled off three very clever dishes that capitalize on the unique properties of rice, while previously there would have been more gimmicky dishes, this is just raw cooking experience and skill on display. And in this case, three dishes that I think many of us would love to test out ourselves.
