Keto Diet

[HH_gg]

Maltitol can give you the shits, to be blunt . Xylitol isn't too bad from my experience but it's toxic to dogs so I'd avoid if you own dogs.

I have sucralose (not to be confused with sucrose which is sugar) in my tea and I bake with erythritol.
It's worth noting everyone reacts differently to sweeteners too.]

Sainsburys stock Free'ist who make sugar free sweets and chocolate made with maltitol.

The boots NAS chocolate is nice.

Hi! I've been on keto for 10 days now, I bought some erythritol to bake with and have done 2 recipes with way less than the required amount and the baked thing makes my mouth tingle so much I can't eat it! Does yours do that? I did it with cookies and mini meringues and both were inedible.

Hi! Just checking in...
It was my third week weigh in yesterday and I stayed the same. I am a little bit 'trapped' (if you get what I am trying to say...if you do, any ideas?)
I used my ketosis stick and still in ketosis at least!

I know this sounds crazy but during the first week I really struggled with sweet cravings too so I did some googling and every time I fancy a mars bar I eat a pickled gherkin I know it’s mental but there is some science behind it as the sourness overpowers the need for sweet things in your brain!

I didn’t even like pickled gherkins and now I quite enjoy them ... on week 3 now and no sweet cravings what so ever!

I love gherkins! You can’t really eat them quickly but they’re gooooood

day 8
Scrambled eggs, bacon, carbzone bread
2 poppers, pepperami, babybel and brie
Chicken fritters and cauliflower cheese

Thank you! Feeling a bit better today but still not ‘right’. What where how do I take electrolytes??

Hello lovelies - Keto day 9 officially- had a blip earlier on ( lots of white wine may have tripped myself up)-
This morning getting out of bed I got a bit dizzy- is this normal- took half an electrolyte tablet in half a glass of water- was ok then

Have had some slimline tonic- not brave enough to add gin in case I mess up the keto process- not that I am even sure if I am in Ketosis- have bought keto sticks over the years but find once they are open they aren’t effective for long and end up binning them-
How do you all check ketosis? Sorry for all the questions

- Read the whole thread at weekend- never heard of fat adapted before!

Constipation is common on Keto diet, apparently eating 10 sugar free gummy bears will help as they have a laxative effect

Can confirm
