If you're doing an extended fast you should just be drinking water and salt- you'll need sodium and potassium to maintain electrolytes and avoid cramping/being totally miserable.

Per 2l of water use 1tsp of KCl (can be bought at grocery stores, "NoSalt") and 1/2 a tsp of NaCl

Most people prefer Himalayan pink salt for the added minerals but any will do

2018-12-19 00:13:04 UTC  

Thank you for the info!

2018-12-19 01:14:59 UTC  

Good luck with your fasting brah

SNAKE JUICE 🐍 🍹

Is there a reason why you can’t use power aid zero?

2018-12-21 19:17:42 UTC  

I’m also interested in extended fasting

2018-12-21 21:03:31 UTC  

I don't really know, bud. Sodium and potassium are all you really need for an extended fast, which is why 'snake juice' is recommended. But at the end of the day you need to do what works for you.

2018-12-21 21:04:27 UTC  

Power aid zero contains sucralose (tldr. basically splenda). So if you don't have a problem with that, shrug.

2018-12-21 22:42:01 UTC  

You would have to drink a LOT of poweraid zero to get all that potassium and sodium. Fake sugars such as sucralose, erythritol, stevia, have not been extensively tested in regards to affecting insulin levels, which is part of the point of fasting

2018-12-22 04:15:12 UTC  

Wow that snake juice guy is intense. I'll try that stuff.

Redroof me on fluoride in the water is it just a meme?

2018-12-24 22:36:11 UTC  

It's a neurotoxin. The majority of countries in the west dont fluoridate their water and their rates of tooth decay have decreased at the same levels of non-fluoridated countries as time has gone on, so theres no real reason to do it for teeth health

lol I love the snake juice guy. He is hilarious https://youtu.be/KxcshsSXQO8

2019-01-04 02:26:43 UTC  

I understand there may be humor to be found by some in the above video, but I couldn't listen to that guy dropping F bombs for 5 minutes

2019-01-04 02:29:30 UTC  

Every video is like that, it's his thing. But yeah it can get to be a bit much.

2019-01-04 02:54:24 UTC  

He's Canadian. Understandably disgruntled.

So I just started Keto on January 1st and I ordered a whitefish salad (equivalent to tuna salad) which came with lettuce, cucumbers, green peppers , and onions.

I get home and look up “how many carbs in tuna salad” on Google and it said, 19 grams per cup. Where are all of these carbs coming from?

2019-01-06 18:18:04 UTC  

*FYI the waiter said there was no sugar in the whitefish salad mix.

2019-01-06 18:21:03 UTC  

Onions can be pretty Carby. Was there a dressing? That's where ninja carbs live.

2019-01-06 18:22:43 UTC  

There was mayo in it, but isn’t mayo just oil and eggs?

2019-01-06 23:10:49 UTC  

Onions are okay in small amounts on keto

2019-01-06 23:11:31 UTC  

Peppers and cucumbers should still be fine in small amounts, but I think they do add up

2019-01-06 23:12:00 UTC  

It could be that your salad had a bunch of stuff that's fine in small amounts but it all added up

2019-01-06 23:13:20 UTC  

It also could be that you're counting total carbs, which you're not really supposed to do. You have to subtract fiber. Fiber is a carb, but it's digested differently than other carbs and doesn't have the same effects, so it's fine on keto.

2019-01-06 23:14:09 UTC  

If you had to limit fiber, basically all vegetables would mess up your macros and all you could eat would be meat.

2019-01-07 02:18:07 UTC  

I mean you looked up tuna salad rather than whitefish salad. Maybe theres a difference after all

2019-01-07 02:18:43 UTC  

Mayo isn’t quite a low carb condiment yeah

2019-01-07 02:19:46 UTC  

But idk how you get to 19 with that

2019-01-07 03:35:06 UTC  

I looked up the nutrition facts

2019-01-07 03:35:22 UTC  

peppers and onions both have decent amounts of carbs

2019-01-07 03:35:28 UTC  

cucumbers should generally be fine

2019-01-07 03:37:00 UTC  

It's not like potatoes that you should be avoiding all together. You can incorporate peppers and onions into meals in small amounts, but if it's a significant part of your meal or you're doing it every meal, they're going to add up quickly.

2019-01-07 03:37:59 UTC  

The best vegetables you can eat are leafy greans. Lettuce, cabbage, that kind of stuff, you can pretty much eat all you want. You'll probably have too much by the time it takes any significant effect.

2019-01-07 03:39:16 UTC  

Broccoli and cauliflower kind of vegetables are probably the next best thing you can eat. The carbs *might* add up if you go crazy, but you'd have to really be eating a lot.

2019-01-07 03:39:49 UTC  

Carrots, onions, and peppers are okay in moderation, but if you're going to be scarfing down carrots, they'll add up quickly.

2019-01-07 17:29:19 UTC  

This has a nice beginner guide about what foods are good and bad for keto

2019-01-08 03:48:20 UTC  

Made some keto fried chicken with pork rinds
