Had my first #intentional #carbs today in #preparation for #christmas and winding down the #keto #diet ... It was some #mixed #vegetables , namely some #peas , #carrots , #beans and #sweetcorn - about 100g which is some 7g of #carbohydrates . I'm so far averaging between 30-80g carbs a day, so getting close now. Once I get to 100g I will look at implementing #calorie #reduction , which will be high #protein and low #calories ...
I may have really fucked up my #keto #diet - I purchased some " #keto " #chocolate yesterday that was *really* #cheap at about $3 for 100g. I checked it in the #shop and all looked good. Got it home and the #carbs were higher than I thought (30g), but I could eat it *really* slowly. Just as I #finish the second bar, I realize that it uses #moltitol #sugar #alcohol which generates a #insulin response, fuck: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/mal.. I'll give the rest of them away.
Yeah, so it turns out the #guylian #zerosugar #stevia #chocolate - although tasting very good, is very high in #carbs in comparison to the #wellnatural alternative. Not so great for maintaining #ketosis on the #keto #diet ! Particularly the #darkmint seems to offer the best #flavour per #macronutrient in the #wellnatural range. And as for the #almonds - they are killing my #calorie #goals - they are too high in #fat for their own good.

I guess this could be the work of the #painkillers I'm taking too, especially given I don't have any #carbs to balance out the effects. I'll be sure to research this more for the #keto #book as part of the #csbooks project.Taking a ridiculous number of #tablets right now. Just now I popped 2 #ibuprofen , 2 #paracetamol , 1 #antibiotic and 1 #multivitamin ! Then I have to do a #ear drop - which actually quite hurts in itself. Can't wait until this #infection goes, it's quite literally a #pain !
Went out for a #walk earlier and accidentally got lost. It was raining and cold, I used a surprising amount of #energy to get back. I'm feeling quite a large #sugar crash at the minute due to my body not able to process enough #fats from the #keto diet. It's even worse when you see people who are able to just much down some #carbs and bring themselves back up again. I was glad to get some #crackers down me earlier made of seeds, but it's taking a long time to come back.
