Oh my gosh look at what I found keto syrup at Walmart

[FrankoBear]

You should really read the ingredients.

I did. And that’s where the comment originated.

My sights were set on the the company and the labelling (on the front of the bottle).

I’m just throwing this out there as an option for people who are craving pancakes and that can cause them to go off keto because they’re constantly thinking about it.

I understand that completely. It is an important key reason.

Does anyone need pancakes and syrup? (rhetoric for the next paragraph)

We circle back to the food addiction threads, the cravings threads and how different people cope. I like that psychological model that recognises people are different and some can be abstainers and others can be moderators (have a little bit of something without setting off a binge avalanche).

…they will never be able to have a pancake because of certain ingredients are not 1000% keto is unrealistic in my opinion and maybe you can do that but I cannot. And I don’t say this to be rude but I’m giving you my perspective on it.

It’s all cool @Karla_Sykes. Congratulations on your weight loss. You are doing what is right for you. Others can be inspired by that. I’ve thought about those things. My opinion is just differing and shared in the spirit of tolerable acceptance of diversity.

Everyone is n=1 and will find their own way in and out of nutritional ketosis. They can use substitutes. They can do what they like. I’m asking questions about the things that surround the syrup and am wondering, since I’m yet to do the n=1 with keto pancakes and fake-food syrup, how it may impact on a person’s broader dietary goals. So I’m fossicking for stories and experiences with some data.

You are a good-hearted person and an enthusiastic asset to the forums.

Well I definitely don’t want to share detrimental information or food products on this forum. I just found the alternative but I will reread the labels to see if it is really very bad

I can understand the anti-restrictive psychology behind satisfying cravings for food associated behaviours (memories of pancakes and maple syrup breakfasts with family etc), but this product seems nutritionally sinister.

I should have said anti- “deprivation” psychology. It is a strong point that @Karla_Sykes makes. A double edged sword. And a discussion full of nuance.

FYI

“Sugar alcohols are slowly and incompletely absorbed from the small intestine into the blood. Once absorbed they are converted to energy by processes that require little or no insulin.”

Sugar Alcohols Fact Sheet

[SlowBurnMary]

There are diverse angles on certain ingredients in this forum - people who love their artificial sweeteners, people who love their sugar alcohols/erythritol or monkfruit (moi), people who avoid all sweetness of all kinds, etc.

The source of sugar alcohols matters to me (whether it’s made from GMO corn slurry or from traditional sugarcane processing) in my home cooking, but I don’t sweat it in certain store-bought things as life is short etc. Fortunately w/ online shopping, the “store” has been expanded, with ingredients lists that can be zoomed in on!

As to flavorings, such as maple extract and so on, the Drs. Eades in Protein Power are big advocates of using small amounts of extracts/syrups to keep one on the low carb road - flavor diversity can be very encouraging plus taaaaaaaaaaaasty!

The video’s not playing for me - but here’s some maple raw milk cheese I love and indulge in during autumn!
