Just tried Lakanto monk fruit drops from a teaspoon, and its not good. After I put some on some keto brownies so who knows when I try it tomorrow, I hope the unsweetened coconut flakes with drown it out. I bought a good stevia + monk fruit from superstore here in canada and its pretty amazing, I stir it in low carb greek yogurt and I eat it up where as without it I was choking the yogurt down. I keep in mind gut bacteria now, yogurt suppose to be good for that.
I just did two days of resistance starches, using keto mayo. I am not convinced of the theory. There was a guy on youtube, serious keto that tried it, his glucose spiked but used with fat was better.
I baked keto brownies from ketosummit, goey goodness (almond flour, cocoa powder, stevia powder, coconut oil, vanila extract, 15 min bake at 350) I was expecting dry turd like the premix I buy from community natural foods in canada here. That premix probably has a lot of chemicals.
The $17cdn keto 2x pizza from costco was pretty good, had to space those calories out, the ingredients didnt look to bad, just the totals were high as they tend to be with keto pizzas.
I bought costco’s $12cdn cauliflower pizza shells but will try that soon, make my own type deal there.
I got sick of costco cauliflower rice to bulk up my stew, another thing I gotta choke down most of the time.
Update on my keto journey, I weighed 272.5lbs yesterday so the lowest I been in probably 15-20yrs as I remember clearly telling myself when I hit 300lbs I will go on diet LOL I weighed 385lbs about a year ago with lots of breaks, I wrote about it on this forum. One break being 2 months last august, most other breaks lasting a few days. Key for me to get over this hurdle, intermittent fasting of 18/6 with very low calorie intake and slight physical activity (riding ebike and playing racket squash), I keep in mind protein intake, lots of salads o/o+balsamic vinegar, asperagus, little carrot slices (I know starch). Eating the same stuff over and over again makes me eat not as much. Another common meal is a stew of tomotoes, asperagus, peppers, celery, chia seeds.
I am getting into baking now, I need quick simple desert recipes.
I really do want to try a 2 day water only fast, I think my body is ready. Might have to eat very high fat and pound it out while doing the fasting tricks of salted water, I will youtube the other tricks.
Are there continuous glucose monitors that constantly measure and constantly record because thats what I want for the money spent, I dont want to trigger the record for just 2 hrs.
Thanks for reading.
