how is almond milk in coffee?

It is not as creamy as full cream milk. And some brands taste better than other but I use so little that it doesn't really alter the taste that much.
Dischem unsweetened Almond Milk is the best value for money in my opinion. Woolworths just too expensive although it probably tastes a little bit better.
I'm not a big fan of the Blue Diamond (I think) stuff that Checkers and Spar sell.

Ah okay. I used like a big whollop of unsalted butter and no coconut oil. No blitz in the food processor either - jes melted it in the hot coffee.

Great stuff. Will try that today and report.

Vile...yuck.
I am getting used to black coffee, so as soon as the app shows 20 carbs for the day I switch to black.
So far today still under 20gr, so if I eat carefully for the rest of the day will stay around 20 odd for today.

You see I don't eat a lot of veggies, so don't get carbs from that. I drink 2 coffees a day (more in winter), 1 at home before work, and 1 around 8am at work. I'm going to swop the home coffee to BPC, so I save a few carbs there as well. I'm currently recording my coffee as follow:
Energy: 551kJ
1.2g Carbs
13,2g Fat
0,9g Protein
I'll see what the BPC works out to.

Even with high blood pressure salt is not an enemy. Everyone needs salt. What one doesn't need is EXCESS salt. So the question is, what happens to any excess you consume?
On a high carb diet you store it. On a low carb diet your body gets rid of the excess.
In fact, even with high blood pressure, my doctor warned me to make sure I take in enough salt.

so problem with the fatsecret app is that some on the nutrition info is incorrect - a tad annoying if you trying to accurately track the breakdown - for eg clicks smartbite seed crackers are listed at 2.5gr carb each where they are actually 0.1gr carb.
reported the error, I wonder if its actually monitored by anyone.

Especially if you're drinking the water you're supposed to. I go through over 3L a day.

Does coffee count as water....then yeah, around 4 - 5 litres a day
Holy smokes, that's a lot of coffee.
Just popped into ketosis today, in an effort to drop a bit of bulge before summer. It feels good to be back!

BPC FTW!!
Can I have your guys thoughts on the different "lists" that are available. There are the original ones from RMR and then there have been a few "updated" ones since then eg. RMR 2.0 where some thing apparently shifted around etc.
Does everyone still pretty much follow the original ones or the updates lists and which ones?

I personally don't bother.
What I do is target my veggie and fruit consumption around the minerals and nutrients that each provide. Broadly speaking, you can break them down into colours. As long as you eat a variety of colours and a lot of vegetables, you will be fine. So, eat broccoli and spinach for instance, because they are high in magnesium. Green vegetables are typically high in magnesium because chlorophyll contains a lot of it. Eat sweet potato because it contains a lot of vitamin A (albeit the vegetable form of it, the various beta carotenes) and potassium.
Yes, sweet potato is fairly high in carbohydrates as far as vegetables go, but you have to eat a lot of sweet potato for that to matter. One medium sized sweet potato is 200g and contains roughly 40g of carbs. Yes, that would knock someone right out of ketosis, but who cares? Is your goal to stay in ketosis all day, or is your goal to stay healthy? Arbitrarily targeting ketosis unnecessarily seems wasteful to me.
Now, consider how little you would have to eat of things like pasta, rice, milk chocolate, donuts or the like to get 40g of carbs - you would be shocked. You would be sick of eating sweet potato long before it ever made you fat. It is carb dense in comparison to spinach, but that isn't saying much.
Anyway, every day, I eat 200g of broccoli, a large bowl of spinach, a tomato, usually a carrot, a banana, 200g of sweet potato, and usually some strawberries. That provides all of the minerals and nutrients that I could need. Of course I also eat a variety of different animal products such as full cream yogurt, gouda cheese and meat of some kind.

Look it's good. And if I ate butter as is with a spoon, I'd buy it. But the Clover salted butter is just as good for what I use it for.
8m thinking here pretty much for exclusive BPC use not for cooking etc.

I use clover for that too.
