Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brcarls: Making recipes in Carb Manager is very buggy for me.... sometimes it will label the recipe as bad because it ignores portion sizes and grades the entire recipe... other times it respects portion size and grades it appropriately. For a new recipe that is not by the piece, I will make the batch and then weigh the total batch and enter that as serving yield (I use grams). Then to add to my daily log, I will weigh my portion and enter number of grams under serving and select gram as the serving size. This method has been 100% accurate for me. |

Today is new product testing day.
 Today's target was Carbquik, a low carb baking mix that mimics Bisquick using a "low carb proprietary wheat" as its main ingredient. So today I made it's most simplest recipe, a drop biscuit and will then test to see how it impacts my ketone level and blood sugar. The drop biscuit ingredients were Carbquik baking mix, butter, and water. Pretty basic.  Attached FileI consumed 1 biscuit with a small amount of butter (taste was surprisingly OK) to end an 18 hour fast. End of a 18 hour fast (except cold brew coffee that has minimal carbs) Ketone Level 1.7 Blood Sugar 91mg 1/2 hour after consumption of biscuit and butter: Ketone Level 1.4 Blood Sugar 115mg 2 hours after consumption: Ketone Level 2.5 Blood Sugar 97mg Verdict: For me, it looks like it might be a lot better alternative then the store bought keto breads. From a previous test of mine with "Keto Culture 1 Net Carb Bun", dressed out with homemade taco meat, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and tomato bumped up my glucose to from 76 to 123 and ketones down from 2.2 to .9. This was the first meal of the day after an 18 hour fast and second readings were taken 2 hours after the meal." I was surprised the keto level rebounded as high as it did, but results look promising. Of course I will do further testing as I make other products with the Carbquik. Will I eat these products every day, oh heck no. But maybe once or so a week or when I get a craving it will offer me some choice. Everyone reacts different to products, so this is just my observations for me on this particular day. YMMV |

I think a huge bonus for me is I do 4 days of 18 hour IF, Mon - Thur. and stay below 20 carbs per day. It sure helps me stay in keto, and makes it fast to get back if someone slips you some sugar (like some restaurants do). |

Today is new product testing day, again
.Today's target was Birch Benders Keto Frozen Waffles with Choc Zero Maple Syrup Sugar Free. I will record my ketone and blood sugar levels for before meal, at 30 minutes (should be sugar peak) and once again at 2 hours. The meal consisted of 2 Birch Benders waffles, 10 grams of Kerry butter, and 30 grams of Choc Zero syrup.  Attached FileI consumed the meal to end an 18 hour fast. End of a 18 hour fast (except cold brew coffee that has minimal carbs) Ketone Level 2.2 Blood Sugar 79mg 1/2 hour after consumption Ketone Level 2.9 Blood Sugar 99mg 2 hours after consumption: Ketone Level 0.6 Blood Sugar 110mg 2:45 hours after consumption Ketone Level 1.2 Blood Sugar mg 87 5.5 hours after consumption This reading is 5.5 hours from the original readings, and was taken 45 minutes after an additional dinner meal with several adult beverages and many not so carb friendly oysters. Ketone Level 1.2 Blood Sugar mg 94 Verdict: At first it looks like this is a great keto meal, but then at the 2 hour mark there was a massive drop in ketone levels. The ketone and sugar level seem to come back to normal levels relatively fast, so I am not sure if I had some bad readings or what. More testing another day (yea, I get to eat more waffles)  The flavor and texture of the waffle was decent, and taste of the syrup far beats what I had tried years ago that were laden with foreign chemical sweeteners or sugar alcohols (Choco Syrup use a "monk fruit extract" sweetener and does not have the digestive issues associated with sugar alcohols) Everyone reacts different to products, so this is just my observations for me on this particular day. YMMV |

You are wise to test, as some of these products that claim to be mostly fiber impact some people poorly as far as blood sugar and ketosis goes. But lots of fiber is good in the diet, so if you can handle the fiber it is a benefit. I doubt I eat the waffles very often, but I know if I get the craving they will make a fine treat for the week. |

I definitely could see myself branching out and trying more foods that are on the edge total carb wise once I get down to my weight goal. I don't really trust foods that are high total carb, but low net carb...I really do need to test to see if those types work or not. |

Everyone reacts different, but:
If you've been on the fence about longer IF times, try it. 12-18hrs are easy for me now, 24hrs is no biggie, and it has made a big difference for me. Today will be my first 24hr IF with lots of physical labor involved..chain saw, rolling big logs, dragging brush.. etc. I will know tonight how I fared with physical labor involved. Pretty active guy but am a desk jockey 5 days a week. Have a great Saturday.

I have started considering expanding the fasting window to 36 hrs plus for a try. Please keep us updated on how your journey goes. It was a non-issue, but my physical labor got cut a bit short due to having to go to the office for work for a few hours. I did get a solid 3-4 hrs of good outdoor physical work in at the end of the 24hr time. I had great mental clarity at work (all data and decision making stuff). The physical work was no big deal, plenty of energy...drank water, black coffee, zero calorie sports drinks. Broke fast with an aprox 15-1600 calorie meal, aprox 3net carbs of cabbage and spinach. After doing 12-18hr IF daily over the last week and two 24hr IF over last two weeks, I'd say 36hrs would be no big deal for you with the #'s you post. I too will do a 36 soon just to see. @ContraHQ |

Pizza chaffles are another good one. Since I'm single and don't need to eat fancy stuff I'll usually make 6 or 8 at a time and throw the extras in the fridge for quick dinner later in the week. I use a couple eggs, mozzarella cheese, almond flower, Italian seasoning, bacon bits and a thing of Domino's pizza garlic butter in the batter. When I come home late from work, I just take a couple of the chaffles out of the fridge, throw on a little pizza sauce, some shredded mozzarella and some mini pepperoni and toss it in the toaster oven long enough to warm them up. I've never actually done the math on the carb content, but they haven't thrown me out of ketosis yet. |
