Some sweeteners do have an impact and are higher on the glycemic index than others. Its been proven by science. But not everyone reacts the same way to all the artificial sweeteners. If i can avoid them, i do.

No choice i guess. Even the ones i have seen marketed as Keto have junk in them. It doesnt have to be sweet, just a good mix.

You are supposed to avoid these bad sweeteners unless you do a lazy/dirty keto. They have a bad impact on your body and can stall a weightloss by triggering your insulin response.

Thats what i think i will have to do. Even some "KETO" preworkouts have sucralose in them which clearly is not keto.

Please people read the entire posts before replying 😂

Thanks but i already take that. Like my post said i want the other ingredients as well.

On facebook i joined 2 amazing groups. - Keto recipes - The low carb life

It does have good health benifits. And if you are doing Keto way of eating, it helps with ketosis.

1500 calories? How active are you? 1500 calories is really not much. Not eating enough will stop you from losing fat and building muscle mass.

1 cup of black coffee contains about 95mg of caffeine, not much more in your C4.. Its advised to take a break from them but it shouldnt hurt you. I've been taking preworkouts for years and i also drink coffee daily and im alive and well. Stay under the recommended daily dosage of caffeine (about 400mg) and you should be…

Nicotine is a stimulant. Try drinking more black coffee.

Cricket powder is a good protein booster in shakes/smoothies

C4 is mild. Its not worst than coffee. Its good to take a break from stimulants so you can reset your tolerance but it wont kill you, unless you have a health problem.

Thanks for your replies. I will find my "sweet spot" with the exercise calories and see what works the best for me without affecting my recovery and energy levels.

Thanks for the quick reply. Makes total sense now. Should i eat exercise calories back or if i dont feel i need them just leave them? If i eat them would i slow down my progress?

Nothing wrong with pasta if it fits your carbs ans calories intake. Weight it. Eat it. Enjoy it. If it helps you stick to your goals, go for it.

I can't use Bench press much for the same reason. My wrist does not align properly and long term, it causes wrist pain. I've switched to Dumbbell presses and have better results, more strength and most importantly, no pain. Athlean X's video is pretty good for form and well explained. https://youtube.com/watch?v=SHsUIZiNdeY

Diet coke and Crystal light probably also contribute to your thirst and dry-mouth feeling you are getting. Have you tried carbonated water with natural flavors added? I SWEAR by this product. I was able to stop drinking sugar filled fruit juice & coke within a week or two of buying this carbonated water. You won't enjoy…

I had high BP and yes indeed, my doctor advised me to reduce my sodium intake. I used to put salt EVERYWHERE. I now never add salt on anything. I also reduced on coffee and added more cardio to my workouts and i got off my BP meds. Also, High BP = Kidney's are having a hard time. Add too much sodium in that equation and…

For the past month i've started eating 90% Dark Chocolate almost every single night as a snack. I eat 2 squares. It contains almost no sugar. It is high in fat, but my daily calories&macros does allow me to throw them in my diet. Dark chocolate also comes with a lot of benefits. "Chocolate is the processed and sweetened…

Thats a great idea. I might give this a try see what i can achieve from this. Probably much better than my "3 hours time frame cheat" i have once weekly.

You can easily substitute your salmon a 2-3 days a week. - Lentils = Good source of lean protein (9grams per 100g of lentils) - Turkey breast 26grams of protein per 3oz of turkey - A nice salad with lots of veggies with nuts - Eggs (easy to cook, fast, good protein source) - Beans medley (black beans, chick peas, red…

Anything SALTY will make you retain more water, resulting in more weight on the scale. Reduce sodium and get back on track. It's okay to eat different food than your relatives will be eating. I do it all the time. They should understand what you are doing and remember, your in control of your eating habits, not them, but…

My doctor misdiagnosed me with RA. After i decided to quit all my supplements, pain went away. I added one supplement a week back into my diet and found that a certain creatine binded with Magnesium was causing all this inflamation and pain. Pain is not easy to deal with, what you are doing, staying active is great to…

If you didnt drink all of that water before, it might be it. Also, you probably put on muscle mass (even if you cant see it) from your workouts, which is great, more muscle mass = more calories burning. Keep on going. Dont beat yourself down. It will work. You will win and achieve your goals!

Too much almond milk. We make and sell protein bars and your recipe looks good except for the Almond milk. Need much less. I would also add more protein powder.

Acid reflux can also be caused by sleep apnea. I was suffering and drinking Gaviscon like water to calm the burn, ever since my apnea is treated, the reflux is GONE and i can eat freely again!
