Hi everyone,
I don't know if we are allowed to talk about products on here - but I found these new cupcake type things called smartcakes. I think they are really good - 38 calories, 4 net carbs, gluten free. Sounded too good to be true. I got all 3 flavors - choc, coconut, orange. I liked them all. It is a really good treat and very filling b/c of the fiber. Didn't raise my blood sugar. I ate 3 of the darn things (they are very small) the first day because of course I had to try all of the flavors. I checked my blood sugar in an hour and it didn't go up at all. Best if kept in the fridge. And they do crumble apart a little bit, but not too much. Of course, as always, I have to make rule around eating them. Tue, Thur, Sat. Except today I had two b/c last night I wanted to eat sooo bad that I made a deal with myself if I held out during my fast I could eat a package today.
Funny the mind games we play with ourselves? Sometimes I know I am acting like a child with some of these food issues. I just want to scream, "Get over it already you can't eat the damn thing." LOL
Does everyone have a strategy for Sunday? I am changing my fasting schedule tomorrow and Sunday so that I can eat during the Pens game and the Superbowl. I am going to make my cauliflower pizza for Saturday and make these sandwiches on Sunday but I am only eating the guts, no bread. Maybe I will make another pizza. Hard to eat sandwich without bread. It's hot so it's not the type that goes good on a lettuce wrap. I can't eat those low carb wraps b/c I am allergic to soy protein isolate which is always in them.
OK enough blathering,
Have a great weekend buddies!

I personally only talk about stuff, I personally tried or used. I don't see why sharing what were trying or using , especially if it works, is a bad thing to share.too much info on some forums, gets confusing and not real valuable info anymore.
I just got a Blood Glucose & Ketone Monitoring System, I have decided that my sunday will be my "cheat day" where I stick to low carb just not the strict 20g like I do rest of the week. during the week I do IF keto calories restrictions atm.sunday for my house is when everyone is home and they want brunch....I kinda don't want to cook for everyone and be fasting =)

I agree with Kearamccardle I think they are referring to selling like diet aids and such! Are you in ketosis Kear?

Interesting.... are you actively trying to lose Kear or cheat day/ keto break?

for me cheat is above 20 g of carbs, which so far the highest cheat day has been 32.
@8Patty yeah my testing shows I am currently. was recommended a breathe monitor as its more accurate, but it'll have to wait. My strips I have indicates I am in ketosis, and it feels like I have been since wednesday.And no I dont break from low carb just have allowed a higher percentages of carbs that days is all to accommodate toast with my eggs that day..lol

Shelly how are you liking the cauliflower crusts? did you get them yet??

I just got them last night! I am waiting for my pizza screen - it was recommended by them b/c it will make it crispier. I am hoping to get it tomorrow so I can make a 9" pizza on Saturday or Sunday. I don't go over 20 total carbs if I can help it but sometimes I will allow for 20 net carbs. The smartcakes have 9 (4 net) and the caulfilower have 6 (3 net). Do you go with 20 total or net carbs?

I go by 20g Carbs (7%, 100 kcal) not net carbs, or it probably be higher. I'm just doing the actual grams, not the net carbs atm...just until I get to my desired weight, then I'll maybe do net carbs and have all my tests done again, see where I am at..and then just get my macros redone and stick with those to maintain. I'll still probably do IF even when I reach my goals.I have a table to help me do the math for net carbs, Im just too lazy..lol
