(Bacon is a many-splendoured thing) #974

And that’s another thing, keto! I have to keep reading these posts about completely weird combinations of food that sound utterly delicious! When are you going to let me get hungry, so I can try these things, huh?

Hi @EyesWideOpen - I’m in Canada. At my local store I can get Perrier in lemon, lime, pink grapefruit (my favourite!), orange. I understand they also have strawberry flavour but I haven’t found any yet to try. As far as San Pellegrino - I don’t know if they have flavours - all we get here I the plain ones, but I like them alot.

If it helps, sometimes I use San Pellegrino as the water in my keto-ade or add a splash of ACV to the water.

Sounds like a good idea!

Wife has flu for a week. I caught it, had symptoms. Thought I was going to be able to miss work, but was over it in 18 hours. Dammit!

My husband always says Lacroix tastes like a mixture of urine and battery acid. Try to get THAT out of your head!

Dave, you poor thing! What a shame you didn’t get sick! :grinning:

Ask him a question for me – how is he in a position to make that judgement? :slight_smile:

I was wondering that too. I have no idea what either taste like.

Complaint #1: Actually getting tired of people asking me “have you lost weight” at first it was flattering and now it’s a chore. Complaint #2: People asking me how I did it, I tell them. And their response is, “oh good for you, but I could never do that, and it’s so unhealthy.” I just want to eat my bacon.

I miss 24/7 food obsessing, and overeating too. It was such a glorious life, feeling simultaneously guilty and ashamed.
Now I feel good, energized, and confidant about my food choices and meals.

Damn you keto.

Also, when I buy foods it’s a struggle to eat them while still fresh, because things are used so slowly. I’ve actually…
Thrown. Food. Away.

THE HORROR

#984

My latest pet peeve is articles or messages on groups calling keto “starvation mode”.

I am far from “suffering or death caused by hunger”.

I used to suffer from hunger before keto, nearly no matter how much I ate. When I was in “plumping mode”.

I know right? When I do come down with ‘something’ it lasts a heck of a lot shorter than it used to!

(Jeanne Wagner) #986

Thanks @donnahealth101! I’ll be looking to try out these other brands as well. Just to see. I took me months to get used to the Lacroix, but now it’s kinda normal. <gasp!> I’m guessing the other brands will taste similar to some extent.

A dyed in the wool ketoer I talked to yesterday called it that too. Surprised me. :confused:

(LeeAnn Brooks) #988

They say that because Keto is a process that tricks the body into believing it’s in a starvation process. It wouldn’t be burning its own fat stores if not.

My daughter calls San Pellegrino the least disgusting of the sparkling waters… in case that helps.

(Aimee Moisa) #990

OMG Keto! I feel like taking a walk on my lunch break! What the ever-loving EFF have you done to me?!?!?

#991

Ketosis is not starvation. Starvation would occur after the fat stores are gone. Proteins can be an issue as well.

(LeeAnn Brooks) #992

starvation is a process, not simply an end result. It’s a long term deprivation of nutrients.

And I didn’t say Keto was starvation. I said it tricks the body into thinking it’s starving to tap fat stores. Perhaps mimic would be a better term.

(LeeAnn Brooks) #993

I have a legitimate Keto complaint.

I can’t keep my bacon stocked. My son keeps eating it.

Everytime I decide to do the bacon experiment, I come home to prepare my evening bacon meal only to find my son ate it all once again.

Seriously… he went through 2 packages in 2 days. And he’s not doing Keto.
