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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

Onions are okay in small amounts on keto

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

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

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.

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

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

Mayo isn’t quite a low carb condiment yeah

But idk how you get to 19 with that

I looked up the nutrition facts

peppers and onions both have decent amounts of carbs

cucumbers should generally be fine

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Made some keto fried chicken with pork rinds

Try making mozzarella sticks like that. So good.

Ooo will do

damn, y'all giving me ideas

Looks amazing @StevePines -WA 👍

That looks good

Good news guys, I’m officially in ketosis now

I’ve replaced any breading or flour with almond flour. I use it to make chicken cutlets and a Parmesan crust for salmon and whatnot.

How does this make sense? Zero total carbs but 1 gram of sugar?

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol so it is technically a sugar but not processed in the same way as a carbohydrate so it is simultaneously a sugar but not a carb
