Bubly Sparkling Water (Pepsico company)

(Doug) #12

My wife and I began it a few months ago - surprisingly satisfying and ‘different’ from still water. :+1:

So good!

You’re arguing against something that doesn’t happen.

On our labels, we don’t just see a listing for 100g - we see it in addition to a listing for a serving size, and we’re shown how many servings are in a pack.

Here’s an example:

Oh yes, that too. I didn’t think about it as I usually buy things in block (or use torn up slices or something) so in the end I have an amount in grams. But sometimes it comes handy we just need to measure the slices/pieces, indeed.

I can see why I would get addicted to these things and don’t want to do that. That ICE bottled water that had sucrolose in it I tried threw up a red-flag the day after I drank it because I wanted another, so no more of that. I don’t think I crave stevia as it’s such a low amount I drink in my decaf but I notice I don’t go over that scoop either, and down to one cup of decaf (was drinking 2). I will most likely stop drinking it at all but I still want a hot drink, herbal tea etc. and yes, a little stevia.

I’m 2 years into keto so we’ll see. Lastnight all I had for dinner was my tenderloin pork, then a fat-bomb for dessert :grin: I couldn’t imagine eating just meat for dinner but now I do that on occasion.

As long as it is under .5 they can claim it is 0 carbs legally.

La Croix just states natural flavors on most of their cans. I use it from time to time, I like the citrus ones, and I have enjoyed Zevia’s ginger flavored drink. I don’t use them often and am not diabetic, so I don’t have a serious issue with them.

I did find my “sudden” attack of Acid Reflux in the middle of the night a result of eating and drinking “bubly” at the same time. I believe it does interrupt good digestion but I just had to test it out :frowning: Love my 6 inch Wedge pillow, saved the rest of my night but I’m passing on the bubly. I have quiet a few issues besides T2 so I’m just going to have to stick to my foods that have been improving everything.

I am going to try the Almond Flour piecrust with some sort of low-carb filling, just for Christmas dinner that is :wink:

It tastes great, and probably no harm done…

Forgive the Sarcasm, please find the humor in your statement…

A company that created the Pepsi Challenge, using a small amount of their product against Coke, and won… But because they would go in and cleanup the local bottling companies (who are given some leeway… Pepsi in Florida was WAY sweeter than in MI, tested many times when I moved here). And hid the fact that Pepsi was more self-limiting. (it tasted better in smaller quantities, but for some reason it did not clear you palette like Coke does, so you like it LESS, or drink a lot less of it).

Then they buy Frito Lay… Oh, and some Fast Food, because SO many fast food companies started switching to Coke. (FWIW, I hated and HATE Diet Pepsi, so I lived this). The upside was that I would literally prefer water.

And we know that they will LIE to get market share.

But WE TRUST that it probably does NO HARM. ROTFLMAO…

I am truly sorry… I have to say you MUST go the other direction until proven otherwise.

FWIW, Stevia is now allowed to be listed as a Natural Flavor, and NOT required to be listed separately. (Because people like me are allergic to it, and stopped buying products with it, they are forced to hide it). Keep in mind that MSG can be disguised as a natural flavor. Another product that will cause me MASSIVE cravings for many hours.

My favorite Chinese Place makes the best Egg Foo Young. This was pre-keto/carnivore. it was my favorite. It hit the spot. I stayed full (I did not eat the rice)… I was learning…

One day, the wife bought it at a different place. OMG. Instead of eating 1/2 for my meal. I ate all of it, in 2 sittings. And then went back, poured the extra gravy on the rice, and ate all of that. I was “starving”, and it took sleeping it off, and feeling like crap. I did NOT know what happened.

Later this happened when I was keto, fasting. And my wife gave me some bullion in hot water.
The SAME kind of reaction. Starving… Out of my mind. I fasted through it, but it was insane.

And as people learned about MSG. They found 100 ways to disguise it.

Maybe they shouldn’t have to give their formulas out… But there should be a petition of chemicals deemed important enough, like Stevia, Fructose, MSG, etc. etc.
That we could petition to keep adding to. And have it also INCLUDE an IMPLIED version (hydrogenated soy protein for MSG)…
And then the MINIMUM is:
Natural Flavors, which includes SOME (MSG, Stevia, etc. etc. etc.) not listed by quantity or volume.

and maybe we can get the MyPlate and Food Pyramid fixed with an Easter Bunny Visit. LOL

I have a TopoChico drinking problem.

I have to say that I look forward to having one 12-ounce can of flavored bubbly water every night. Whether it causes me cravings or not, I have no idea. Though since I’ve been drinking these for…years?..now, and am back into all my 34 inch waist pants, even my “thinnest” ones, if it is doing anything, it might be a small effect.

Whether they are good for me or not in other ways is something I won’t be able to tell, most likely.

(Denise) #22

I have a Bubly every day as well Bob. That one is good but I add the teeny scoop of stevia to it. as well. It’s put out by Pepsi, and now I see Coke is following suit with AHA sparkling water. I drink mine with a snack of nuts but not with a full meal as I was afraid the carbonation would cause for indigestion, or proper digestion??

I’ve been drinking hoplark

(Denise) #24

I’ll check it out Ethan!

Another fan of plain sparkling water here. I don’t like, want or need fruit flavourings, natural or otherwise.

What I do like however is a dash of ACV added to the water from time to time. Try it if you haven’t already - sounds odd maybe but I think it gives the water a nice tangy flavour and prefer it to ACV/plain water.

#26

I think that CarnivoreDoctor on Youtube recomends adding ACV to plain sparkling water. She says she does that before a meal and likes it.

(Alex ) #27

wonder how it “playfully instigates fun” ? so ambiguous!

Suppose you could say the same about crystal meth…

(Denise) #28

I don’t believe ACV is a fix-all, not saying anyone else does either, but I use it very sparingly for stomach upset. On a “health” forum that goes way into some weird remedies, but I weed out some good stuff for me, they list most people put ACV for a cure all. I think that’s a shame because people can fall for it and do too much of it :frowning:

#29

“Just Eat Real Food.” Brilliant.

(Alex ) #30

I like the sharpness of ACV and use it within cooking/food where I’d normally use standard malt/clear vinegar… it’s got a really nice taste and is cost effective, but I’m not so sure I rate it for health benefits.

(Robin) #31

I now take 2 tbs of ACV daily. Now, I can’t even remember which specific malady I was chasing cures for. But I’ve grown attached to it as part of my routine and I like the tang.
Plus, somehow it makes sense to me. Vinegar is known for its cleansing uses and cutting oil. Which is also ironic cuz I now take some coconut oil in my coffee. So, are they cancelling each other out? LOLOL.
