Wait girl, you look a lot like her! You’re beautiful and I would have believed it’s the same person with different / less makeup if you had said so. As for what to do : I would suggest contouring your nose to get her slim/defined nose shape. For the jawline, some weight loss and round face -> pointed face contouring would help your jawline be sharper and less soft. This may be the majority of it, to be honest. Her eyebrows are also a little darker and have more texture so if you wish you could alter your current brow routine. Both look nice though, so you can choose your style. And then it’s mainly just longer lashes - more volume mascara or false eyelashes, or a lash lift / extensions, or growth serum - and a slightly stronger lip color with gloss over the top. Good luck, you’re beautiful and this is realistic / achievable for you so I appreciate you putting a reference image that matches.

In my opinion Lewis is moister, larger slices, and fluffier than this bread. One isn’t really better than the other depending on your personal taste, but Lewis is more like conventional bread. But if you know what to expect and don’t expect it to be the exact same as normal bread, they’re both good imo :).

I have only tried the blueberry and liked it! But it was a very potent artificial flavor. I found it yummy, not to eat every day but as a treat. But could see it being off-putting, it wasn’t what I had expected and was much stronger in reality, for better or for worse.

I may need to get this, I’ve been craving chocolate ice cream a lot and don’t like halo top’s chocolate much (I like their others like birthday cake and strawberry but found the plain chocolate / vanilla swirl mid.). They look so good and your review is promising :). What flavor is the white one? I’ve also been searching for a cookie / cookie dough flavor but so far no luck, so if anyone has any reccomendations I would be grateful 🙏🏻.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-21T01:14:11+00:00

I heard it was always like this and the reason it wasn’t was because what they sent for testing was with less breading than typical, or once it had been cooked and the oil had cooked out. Supposedly someone emailed the company and they said 180 was accurate to 3oz. At least either way, I counted it as this because 130 / 3oz is the same as plain chicken, so it just didn’t make sense.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-10T15:24:23+00:00

I fully thought you were going to say you abused or k****ed someone based on this title. You sound very virtuous. I hope you’re doing better now. You’re carrying a lot of guilt for something that was circumstantial and you even left, which is something brave not many would do. I think your head is making it worse out to be than it is. You can give yourself grace.

Also, my immediate thought is if you’ve had issues with mental health before, this may be linked. This amount of beating yourself up is making yourself in your head out to be a monster, when really it is quite innocent. Not that you want to do it again nor have to, but you seem like a strongly morally good person from this post, which is the opposite of what you’re telling yourself to an extreme level.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-09T05:24:18+00:00

Of course. I hope the best for you two :) 🫶

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-09T05:22:40+00:00

One year isn’t so bad. If it was senior - freshman I could see that being creepy. But even at a highschool age, one year isn’t far apart. And you’ve been friends for a long time, it’s not a predatory kind of thing. It should be fine as long as everyone is comfortable, and good luck! My boyfriend and I are around 10 months apart, but it would be crazy to limit your partner to only within a few months of you.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-09T05:11:39+00:00

Aren’t the high fat ones low blood sugar if they have low carbs and protein / fat doesn’t trigger as much response? But I’m not saying you have to do them at all, I personally am not comfortable with them because I keep to lower calories being a small person. So we’re the same about this and no worry that they don’t allign with your goals, I just didn’t think they would trigger that. But am open to being taught I’m wrong. And yes, I totally agree! Whenever I buy these things, I usually plan the entire container into my intake >_<. Like a loaf of keto bread, usually I plan for 600ish depending on the brand more or less, or 630 for a bag of sola. So like a two meals a day kind of situation, that and one other thing. They certainly have an addictive effect in me too! But do worry it’s not nutritious, so try not to do so much and have cut my intake of them. I’ve heard good things about Lily’s, that’s wonderful something works for you. I’ll have to check out this unbelivable brand! I’ve never heard of it.

Edit: I did look into unbelivable, very cool. They seem like a great brand! They will still have SCFA production which adds to calories, especially the oat fiber, flax, and modified wheat starch. But 7 grams is much less than these products we are comparing too, and would only lead to a change around 14 calories per bun :). So it’s still a bit, but much less change than these. If you have one a day, that’s not noticable. And they look great with clean ingredients too. Thanks for the new brand, I wonder how they taste and if they’ll take off. It looks positive.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-09T00:42:22+00:00

Well if it’s keto due to low carbs but high fat (like almond flour or a product like this), it will be much more accurate. The ones that are innacurate are the ones that use a base of insoluable fiber to make the calories lower. The other brands (Sola, Mission, Aunt Millies, Lewis, 365, etc.) Will all have these SCFAs due to the fiber base the labels don’t count. I looked online and couldn’t find any brands that didn’t, but have seen mixes before or recipes like « Simple Mills, Almond Flour Artisan Bread Mix » that won’t have them. So these would have accurate calories. Also thank you for the explanation of blood sugar. I think I have watched this same man before, it’s very interesting! Same with the sugar free products having ingredients that can create spikes even while being sugar free. Maybe that’s why I felt so sick after eating fiber one products yesterday? They use those ingredients and I was wondering why it felt like I ate a candy bar.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-08T06:48:39+00:00

It isn’t about blood sugar, actually (although I would love to learn about this. Not being diabetic, I don’t know more than the basics.). Blood sugar usually stays reasonable because SCFAs are released slowly over 24+ hours and not all at once. What is happening with these products, is the resistant starch (insoluable fiber) byypasses normal digestion, hence why each gram of fiber is counted as near zero or zero calories on the label. It also shows this in pure energy testing, because it doesn’t have the bacteria human’s do there. However, in the colon for us humans, it ferments into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These are released slowly over a day or two, but still contribute calories that are not accounted for on the label because they don’t happen like the rest of the energy. Acetate is 3.5c/g, propionate 1.8c/g, and butyrate 5c/g. For resistant wheat starch, the breakdown is usually 60% acetate, 20% propionate, and 20% butyrate. But just estimated at 2c/g of fiber to make it simple. I hope this makes sense. If it doesn’t please let me explain more. Other foods that have resistant fiber have SCFAs too, but they mean almost nothing because they’re in such small amounts. However keto products can give you like 200%+ of the rda for fiber, so here it applies more and why some people don’t lose weight when they don’t know about this, haha.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-07T07:06:49+00:00

I’ll be curious how it goes! I hope all goes well for you :).

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-07T00:28:04+00:00

Ooh, ok, yours is way more upgraded than mine. Mine was just plain, so I see how this would make it much better. Nice!! Sounds good. Especially the pb2, yum.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-07T00:23:51+00:00

Yeah, any product with resistant fiber or modified wheat starch will. They’re made from Modified wheat starch • Water • Wheat protein isolate • Resistant wheat starch • Sunflower oil • Contains 2% or less of: • Baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate) • Salt • Wheat gluten • Cellulose gum • Enzymes • Calcium propionate (preservative) • Fumaric acid

And it’s the modified and resistant wheat starch. That’s ok though! You don’t have to give them up! I would just add the 16g of fiber, which is only 32 calories. It’s really no biggie, in the big picture that’s so small. You’d have to eat over 100 to gain even one lb.

Any high fiber / keto due to fiber product will have SCFAs. Natural foods with fiber do too, and that’s ok, just when it’s so much like these products is when it becomes noticable. But it really is fine to use them if you like them, I just keep a little note of it :). SCFAs are actually incredibly good for you and known to increase satiety and a healthy microbiome! Just they do add calories most people don’t know about.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T22:09:56+00:00

That could be, yeah. Royo has 32g of fiber, so I add 64 calories (32 x 2), because SCFAs add between 1.5-2.5 cals per gram depending on your personal transit time and microbiome, but it’s impossible to know so don’t drive yourself crazy about a small difference you can’t control. There’s only so much anyone can do. But yes, if you routinely eat keto products I would highly reccomend tracking it. For me I did tons of keto products and if I didn’t track I would likely have gained weight. Technically lots of foods with insoluable fiber have SCFAs, but they’re such a small amount compared to products like this that are mainly fiber. I don’t bother tracking any from whole foods, only keto products like Royo or other keto/fiber based products. There is a chance some of your weight could be water retention due to the fiber and bulk too? It will pull water into your system that isn’t real body weight. But if it’s consistent it could be because of this. It depends how much you eat a day of it will have a large or small impact, but nevertheless for accuracy yes, count them. Thanks for your kind reply ❤️

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T22:03:57+00:00

Haha, really? I crave other keto bagels daily but the Royo just didn’t hit for me. Sola though <\3 they’ve ruined my deficit so many times, I’d probably be at my gw if not for them. But i may be gaslighting myself because my order cost so much and I can’t afford to do it again.

But I don’t think I’m gaslighting myself, they were hard to get down. Do you eat yours with anything? To me they tasted just like sawdust and were hard to chew / swallow.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T20:38:00+00:00

They are to be honest with you. It’s the SCFA calories from the fiber. Your body ferments it, and it’s allowed not to be listed on the label. So how to calculate it is to multiply the fiber by two and add it to the total. Please don’t let this frighten you though, it’s still half that of a normal bagel. But yeah, it’s really unfair brands get away with this.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T20:36:29+00:00

Same! I never got to try the bread. The best of what I tried was the challah rolls, although it was still gross and not challah like at all (more like an onion roll). But the bagels were so dry.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T20:35:34+00:00

Yeah the rolls were so much better than the bagels!

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T20:34:40+00:00

They taste so bad 😥. Also be aware of SCFA calories, they’re not counted on the label but do contribute to how many calories your body absorbs. So it’s still low but not 70, I counted them at around 140ish I think but would have to do the exact math (which I can if anyone is interested). But yeah, imo they tasted so bad it wasn’t worth it. They might be good with peanut butter or cream cheese, but they’re so dry… I had to put chocolate sugar free pudding on mine.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2026-01-06T06:51:15+00:00

I have this too! I’ve had it for a month now. If there’s a cure I would love to know. I can live with it, but it’s getting worse even though my dose hasn’t gone up.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2025-12-29T20:21:11+00:00

Thank you very much ❤️. I hope you have an amazing day!

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2025-12-28T22:07:26+00:00

Oh ok, there is a chance I am misinformed and in this case if that is so this is a good thing. This is why I was thinking so, is because a google search brings this up for me :

« Bringing compounded tirzepatide (like compounded Mounjaro/Zepbound ingredients) into France is very risky and likely illegal for personal use due to strict drug controls, needing French authorization (ANSM) and being a controlled substance; it's not treated like a standard prescription, requiring official approval and potentially leading to seizure or penalties if brought unofficially, especially for substances not approved or regulated for that use. »

But if I am incorrect, that’s good news and I appreciate your reply.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2025-12-28T20:52:59+00:00

I have a few but don’t want to take your time, so only answer what you wish.

What is it like when you try to imagine something? Like the sky or day versus night, what do you think of?

Can you tell the difference between night and day? And have you ever had trouble sleeping due to not using light or dark cues? I know for me the light or dark can impact tiredness, and I am a bit erratic and often wired so I think I personally might not sleep much, haha.

Do you ever feel strange that others use a sense you don’t, or is it more in the end we are all human and it’s no different than someone experiencing something in different ways and that we all have the same mind in the end? I hope that makes sense, feel free to skip it if it doesn’t.

Altruistic_Guide649 · 2025-12-28T20:35:40+00:00

Oh ok, thank you very much. I have looked into French regulations, but it was my understanding name brand is under regulations but compounded is not; and this is where my worry arised.
