Parathyroid doesn't sound so appetizing

LOL, autocorrect FTL!

I normally get the woolies one. Just a little bit of carbs is acceptable to me.

I've seen when eating those things, i crash. Get very sleepy. Insulin spike probably (if i understand the science correctly). So now I rather just avoid it.

Where do you guys get the Greek Yoghurt. The double cream plain stuff at Pick n Pay, Woolies and Checkers has too many carbs in, imo. What's the carb/sugar content of proper greek yoghurt?

Saw a sign up at Woolworths that they renamed greek to double cream and bulgarian to low fat or something due to new Government regulations.

It's not.

It's if you have sugary mixers ... and also alcohol may lower your resistance to temptation of carbs.

Your body will burn the alcohol as fuel before it burns ketones, but it won't affect your insulin

So on the rocks or with water. Hide the chips and peanuts. Got it. Thanks.

Alcohol ups your insulin and lowers blood sugar AFAIK.

If you are at a function and have to drink alcohol, whiskey is the one to go for. Choose rocks and water. You can have soda water, but remember that the CO2 in soda raises acidity in the body - I avoid due to being a gout sufferer.

As mentioned above, body will burn the calories from the alcohol in the whiskey, then switch back to ketones

Nope. No insulin effect.

I must be special then.

I'm very sensitive to low blood sugar. Alcohol certainly does not trigger it in me.

All in all, moderate alcohol probably has more benefits than not, but certainly not all alcoholic drinks.

 

[janinki]

How do i increase fat? Coconut oil shots?

Fry your meat and veggies in butter, make butter based sauces, drink bulletproof coffees....

Had my Jack Black and it went down so well.

I had this a few times the last week but I don't get that extra energy boost that most people talks about.

 

[JerryMungo]
