RE: Over A Week Into a Ketogenic Diet

in #health7 years ago

Yeah, my buddy was surprised that I was targeting 20 because he was doing under 50 for his keto diet. I just want to be awash in ketones asap, haha. Going all out!

Do you count sugar alcohols as full carbs, half carbs, or no carbs? I have seen a lot of people take a different approach to it. Or base their choice on the GI of each individual sugar alcohol.

Sort:  

Hmm. Honestly, I hadn't thought about those. We've been eating a lot of things made from scratch as of late. To be sure, I've tried to just avoid anything sugary. I'll have to do some research. Lately, it's just been keeping track of carbs in general.

Found this link. Gonna do some more research. What are you doing?

I have just been counting them as full carbs. Some of them have basically zero in the GI but I can never recall which ones are which so I just try to avoid them. But my chewing gum has 2g of sorbitol and I hate to have to switch, haha. It's my favorite gum!
